The Mr. came along to XC practice tonight. Lil miss came along as well and begged to run, so she & Daddy ran with the team tonight...thought she was so important doing stretches & running with the younger kids (she'll be there next year, she has another year of Pre-k) however, she's showing some potential. Only 4, completed a half mile run and passed some of the K-2 kids! Anyways, this freed me up to get a tempo run in. Ran the park perimeter, which mean half asphalt, the other half Grassy hills. I was sooooo ready to stop by the time I hit that 3.11 mark! Any running off road just seems to kick my butt!
