Ethan and I are doing "Running Camp" this week, since BHS football preseason has started for his brothers. This way, the start of the middle school XC season won't be such a shock to the system! It should be a good XC season for Ethan; the last couple of years (4th and 5th grades), he's been a lot younger than most of the competitors. Ethan's been running a couple times a week all summer and this week we are checking out some trails in Chittenden County. Yesterday we went out to Catamount and did the Pink and Blue courses, him running the Cadet loops and me the whole loops. Today, same kind of thing at Red Rocks Park: we did the two loops of the 5K course, him once for about 2 miles, me twice for about 4 miles. He is getting pretty speedy, but I still beat him in the final sprint to the car, even though he tried to trick me! Tomorrow is a 20-miler for me, with E joining me for a couple miles, probably at the end. If it's nice weather, I might be able to get him to ride his bike the whole way. I do like running with a lead biker!
