Approximately 4.  Didn't want to run and then shamed myself into it. 

Ran most of the warm up with the girls (caught up after getting the boys tagged) and then another mile on my own. 

Then two incredibly exciting races. Then I ran some while waiting for results.

My girls took second in regionals.  I had 3 girls in the top 10.  One girl who has been struggling mentally in the 3rd mile put it all together beautifully for a 9th place finish (a pr by about 20 seconds on a challenging and muddy course).  My top girl took 3rd. 

Then the boys--oh man, we were hoping for a 5th place finish so that they could move on to sectionals.  After the race I knew we did it, but then was astonished to discover that they took 3rd!  Their highest finish in this race in the 10 year history of the school! 

And listen to these scores:  3rd place (us) 107.  4th place (Unity) 107.  Tie was broken by our 6th runner, who demolished their 6th runner.  5th place (GRF-C) 108.  Dang.  It was a great day!
