I can comfortably say that my training is back in line.  Tonight was a great night to run.  That's exactly what I did.  After a shaky start to the week of training, I have fallen back into the grove of training and I'm ready to get back with the team and train that much harder with them.

But back to tonight.  I met Clay Willis at Memorial after I finished my duties at the EVSC soccer fields regulating at the gate.  (I took tickets.)  After a brief mile and a half warm up, we jumped into some up-tempo repeats.  They weren't really intervals, or even repeats for that matter, because they weren't really fast or even that challenging.  We just needed a change of pace and that's exactly what we got.  It really felt good to be back on the track and doing some fairly quality work.  All of my training, except for races, this summer has come in the form of miles pounded out on the road, day after day.  I did finish the workout tonight with about 4 more miles on the road.  All together it was a very successful day for me.

Tomorrow dawns the beginning of the school year for me.  I have the opportunity to move into my apartment on campus tomorrow, well today now.  The mix of nerves and excitement is not a foreign feeling to me since I compete regularly, but this is a little different.  I'm living with some guys from the team and have no clue how it's going to go.  I guess if nothing else, it'll give me some good topics for future blogs.

I've got the first TAC meeting of the year in the morning so I need to be going to bed.  This "after midnight blogging" needs to stop.  But, on a positive note, I wrote two days in a row.

P.S.  Sorry for the lack of a title.  Couldn't come up with anything.
