The Mongoose

First day of XC practice. We did 5 miles out towards Sunriver. I felt pretty good, but I could definitely feel the aches and pains from the time off. Nothing serious though, and I'm glad to be getting back into things. Should be a good season.

5 miles out towards Sunriver again this morning. We went the same pace as yesterday but I felt a lot better today.

5 miles out towards the Arizona strip. I forgot my watch today so I'm not sure on the pace but I felt good. After that, we did a little bit of barefoot running on the turf. 

Got up real early this morning for my run because we left for scout camp at 6. 5.25 miles with Darian. I felt good.

We got to Lake Powell pretty early yesterday morning and spent all of yesterday out on the lake so I was pretty tired when I woke up for my run. Seth came with me and we ran 5 miles easy around the marina. It was pretty hard to find a solid trail so we ended up running on the roads for most of the run.

Pretty tired again when I woke up around 7 this morning, but the temps were pretty nice which made for an enjoyable run. I didn't want to waste time finding a trail to run on so I just ran the same route as yesterday just extended a little bit. Seth wasn't feeling too good the other day so I just ran solo today. 6.5 easy. It was a fun weekend with my scout troop, and luckily I didn't get burned at all being out in the sun all day which was pretty surprising. I didn't really tan though either so that was kind of a bummer. Solid first week of running and getting back into it. I'm excited for the season.
