Cross Country, Cross Training, Crosswords

This morning I went to Castlewood State Park to watch high school cross country.  It was the Parkway quad meet with the four Parkway high school competing.  Jen coaches so I got to hang out with her.  It was fun to watch the high school athletes.

Things I observed:

• The runners that start out the fastest usually are not the first to finish.
• There are a lot of different running styles.
• Sometimes high school kids walk during races 
• I could compete with the Junior Varsity Team

After I got home Jim and I went for a 14.6 mile bike ride.  Today is a cross training day.  The bike ride felt good.  It's nice to have cool weather in August.

Then I sat on my screen porch and worked a cross word puzzle.
