Had to stop after the shorter run segment for a few seconds to restart the track to get the heart monitor to connect. Just wouldn't go earlier but I didn't try wetting it. Got my 22 in.

This was a lot harder than Wednesday. Didn't feel awake at the beginning even though I had been up from 6 am and didn't start until 7:30. Ran for a few miles before the skies brightened and then my pace seemed to get a touch better. After 17.5 miles, it was not a confidence builder other than the fact that I know I can grind on a long ways (I just don't want to feel like I am grinding). Not on the watch is a bathroom stop at about 5 miles; note to self, no food drenched in extra-hot buffalo sauce the night before the marathon.

Made it to the XC meet in time to see the boy's race. North Central ended in 6th with all 7 runners <17:00. They are done as a team but 3 of the guys and one girl made it to semi-state. It was a good season and they should have teams that are at least as strong next year.

This was a good outing. Forgot the heart rate monitor, so I just ran at a comfortable pace that I thought I could hold for a good long time. Made it home without losing too much energy. Comfortable temp, a beneficial S wind, and threatening rain kept me moving. This is the last midweek 12 before tapering.

3min wall sit, some russians and accordions.

Botched track run. Wasn't feeling it so I bailed. A nice walk home afterwards watching the moon.
