PM: 11 miles easy
My family was in town visiting this weekend, so Valerie and I hung out with them in the morning. Reed and I rolled out in the late afternoon for an out-and-back on the ATT on a quintessential fall evening of cool air and pleasant skies. I felt considerably better than yesterday's long run.

Reed and I met in the morning to knock out our long run on Saturday. The weather has turned wonderfully cool and pleasant, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel trashed the entire time from yesterday's race. Some recovery is in order.

PM: Great American XC 8k, 26:26, 15th place - 12 miles
Bull City Track Club sent a team to the Great American XC Festival to compete in the college race. I raced here in 2005 in college when the field was admittedly a little deeper, but it was cool to get back nonetheless.
Today revealed that I'm still a work in progress, and I'm still not running very well in the humid weather; I was sweating like crazy. I felt reasonably relaxed the entire time, but I really fell apart and could get my legs to turn over in the last 3k, losing a few places, including Reed in the last uphill 500m. I've certainly had worse races, but I left the course feeling downright unsatisfied and wanting more. While my fitness has certainly come along way since college, I was at least glad to decimate my performance here in 2005.
The good news is that we finished second to Duke as a team in a college race, led by Alex's overall win. It's rare that I get to race as a team these days, so I'm glad we could put up a strong showing.
