Moving Up

I showed up to practice after class today and found Danny and Ben waiting for me. We weren't sure how far to run since we'd missed the rest of the group, and a quick search for Russ proved futile because he'd already gone out to run. We ended up just heading north and ran into Russ around 1/2 mile anyway. He told us that group A was supposed to run 8 miles, while group B was 4 and group C was 7. Danny and I talked him into letting us do 8 miles with Ben, however, and also moving us both up to group A next week (woot woot!). The run actually turned out to be 6 miles plus the 2 mile "triple bluff warmup," which in this case was more of a cooldown. The wind was really blowing off the lake and Danny got a little chilled in his cut-off sleeves. We did an extra bluff hill too just for good measure (actually we were supposed to do it, but it still felt like over achieving). So far I'm at 40 miles this week. By the end of the weekend I should be at 69. Never run that much before.


I managed to catch one leaf today, bringing my season tally up to 4 points. I'm pretty sure Danny is somewhere around 15, and Pfeuffer must have at least 12. I really need to step up my game.
