Early and Easy

Last night we took Lucas to the Grandma's Marathon "Wednesday Night at the Races". He is in the four and under age division and runs 200 meters. They were supposed to run 400's but there are so many kids showing up that they had to shorten the race and do multiple heats. He loves racing and it truly shows the roots of sport and the enthusiasm that adults tend to loose over the years. As part of the night, I volunteered to "lead" some of the other age groups through the course. I led ages five/six through the course four times and the same for seven and eight year olds. We then split up leading the nine, ten, eleven, and twelve year olds. Those older kids are tough to hold off the first 100 meters or so!! Overall, a nice evening of easy, low key "intervals".

For this mornings run I took it easy at 5am as I needed to get to work for a 7am meeting. Nothing too great from a running standpoint. Much of the same with striders added.
