Event: CNYO REGAINE VIII
 

Running around during the Royal Comet invite. The main part was the run during the 100s and 400s and IHs when I ran 15A-Calkins-Pinnacle and back to RH, doing 6 x 1.5 minute pickups with 1.5 min recovery jogs. Also did some running around the outside of the track while spectating.

The highlight and lowlight of the day both came in the first two races. The meet started with the girls steeplechase, and Val ran a great race by herself to win, breaking the meet record by almost 7 seconds.

Next was the boys steeplechase and Zach got cutoff going up for the first water jump and landed awkwardly and facing the outside, rolling his ankle down the incline. He made it another lap before I told him to stop. It turns out he has a broken tibia and is in a cast for an undetermined amount of time. I hope it heals cleanly, so he can resume the massive improvement he had going on.

Running around during the JV meet at Thomas. Much of this was done during the 100 and start of the hurdles, when I looped up past St. Paul's and came across a couple of girls smoking in the woods.

"Day of Caring" - did some painting of a garage at the Carmelite Monastery. Annoying "strike zone" painters meant that I spent almost the whole time on a step ladder, which was almost tall enough to safely reach the peak (I did reach the peak).

Afterwards, there was a stop at Applebee's for some half-price boneless before rushing to Luke's game to keep score. So, no run was accomplished today - I should have planned a run for the morning.

No time for a run today as I went from work to Thomas for our meet against Fairport, then on to my class. Both the boys and girls lost to Fairport, but not nearly as badly as expected. Z ran 4:54 in a windy mile, then bounced back for a 10:28 3200 and a 2:24 in the 4x8 shortly after.

The day started with a call from Wilbur at 7:15am from Vegas - celebrating his birthday with Huntz and Dan. Huntz was on the news in Phoenix:

He came in on a flight last night that had a bomb threat on its next leg.

Mostly easy run during Luke's baseball practice, but I did do 6 x 1 minute pick-ups during this. Limitation on speed during pick-ups was the legs/hips/groin, not fitness or whatever.

Didn't feel guilty taking a day off after that weekend. Went to track practice where the JV kids did the "4-minute mile" workout (although with adjusted target times) and the Varsity did 600R, 2x400R, 3x300F and 4x200F, with very good results. Then it was off to Luke's Confirmation at the Cathedral.
