AM - Core/plyos/stretching for 45 mins, then 3.0 miles with Delaney around the neighborhood.  Her first day of training for the fall cross country season.  She has not run a step since track season ended in April (aside from soccer training and games).  We ran together in the mornings last summer to prepare for cross country last year.  A bit of a struggle last time around to get her going -- but this year she was eager to get started.  She has a plan of running every morning with me and to do runs with her team who will meet 3 times per week in the evenings.  Running camp at Brevard College in Asheville, NC in July for 2 weeks.  We had a nice run, after the first mile which was 9:12 - she ran sub 8:30 miles without too much difficulty.  Her weight is up a bit, (she loves to bake and eat her creations)but she's also grown about a inch since the end of her fall season - so some good training and healthy eating should have her well ready by the end of August.

PM - lunchtime run on the treadmill.  8.0 miles in 62 mins.  Felt a little rough for the first mile or two, but once I got rolling, it was very comfortable run - mostly at 7:15 pace or better.

Evening - did a 1.5 mile walk with Tracy after dinner through the neighborhood.
