AM - in Morrow GA again. The good news is that Delaney's team advanced to the finals today, but the bad news was the the 10k race I was hoping to run in Atlanta closed its registration before the end of her game on Sunday - and there was no race day registration or packet pickup. A big race - with 11,000 runners on a point to point course. Logistically, it would have been challenging to be able to get there and back in enough time to get Delaney to her game. In the end I did not want to run in a race unregistered and would not have been in the right frame of mind to race well, worrying about that and getting back in time. So I slept-in a little and did 12 miles this morning around the perimeter of the Clayton State University campus. Felt kind of off this morning - and it was warmer and more humid - Did it at a moderate pace. Not a bad run but certainly not as good as I have felt the last two days.

PS - Delaney's team won the Atlanta Cup U15 Girls Championship for the B Division following a 0-0 draw, two extra time periods and a penalty kick shoot-out. Great finish to a great weekend.

Makes the long drive to hotlanta all worth it, eh?! Congrats to her. Oops I meant to enter this on your mile repeats treadmill workout - oh well. Very impressive - your times were nearly identical to the boychild's workout this morning. They did their team warmup and then 3 by 1 mile with 1 minute recovery. He hit 5:42, 5:36 and 5:32. Yes, I have to live vicariously through him for a while still... I'll get there.

Thanks Doug - your son's workout was likely not on a treadmill though, so I am sure it was more "real" than mine. Sounds like they are getting fit for a good peak this season.

Funny how when we did these workouts in high school, I never thought I would be doing them 25 years or more, later. I remember doing them near the Dunedin Community Center -- I just can't remember the times we ran. I bet Rob knows.
