Ran out with one of the girls--we started after everyone, caught up with them before they turned around to go back towards the school, ran a little beyond them since we started late, headed back to school and then picked up the pace for the last 10 minutes.  We were able to catch the last two girls again.  

It was a good run.

4 miles--2 as a warm up with the girls and 2 as a cool down with both teams.  We ran at a camp that I'd never been to before and the course was pretty challenging...

And I did it all in borrowed shoes.

But my girls won (taking 1st and 2nd overall I might add) and the boys limped along at 3rd.  My 3rd runner is out for a little while and I fear that by the time he gets back into it, he won't be the 3rd runner anymore.

Approximately...We went for a nice run.  I ran with one of my girls and she really pushed me, especially at the end.  We were racing at the end.  She does that to me every time.  But it feels good.

Ran warm up, was too lazy to run mile repeats with the kids, although I'm sorta kicking myself on it now.  But oh well, the groups started to fall apart and I was reading splits and finish time.

Ran a cool down with the varsity girls, then ran 1/2 mile cool down with the JV team.

Probably a bit more than 6.

Warmed up a couple miles with my JV team.  Since there was no official JV race, we did our own.  They totally screwed up the course, though, so the times that we took are meaningless :)

Ran the course backward while the JV was running--the reason I know they screwed up the course is that I did not run into them while running it. 

The boys and girls ran at the same on the streets of a little town near us.  I didn't have much time to run around on the course because the girls started 5 minutes before the boys.  I ran a bit from the start line down the course and then back over to the finish.

It was a great day.  Both my boys and girls won trophies. I was expecting it on the girls' side, but not on the boys. 

It's at this point in the season that I am thinking I can't give this up next year.  I love cross country!  I love these kids!  ...so hubby and I are just waiting to see what happens before we make any decisions about next year.

I haven't been as stressed this year, and I think it's because I'm not training for anything specific.  Last year at this time I was training for my first marathon and now I'm just running to run. 

Today is Sunday.  Hubby's taking the boys this morning to paint and I just want to start the week with a clean house and all my homework done, so I may not run because he is going to watch football this afternoon/evening so I'll have the kids.  He deserves a football day.  It's been a rough week for him.
