pre 8K XC running report

Tracy has been doing 10% grade running and has managed to do .5 of the 1 mile hill near her house with every intention of mastering the full mile eventually. She reports she experienced heavy breathing and some pain in a part of the lower leg she identifies as "kind of next to the shin in front" (any anatomists out there?).

She was wondering who calls her/himself a diehard runner (definition: runs every day). Best I can claim is two runs since last Saturday's Brickyard; on Tuesday I did about 5 1/2 in the Coppermill area w/ Judi and Rose and Linda (who walked) and today Rose did 12.75 and I did the last 10 with her - Coppermill again but we ventured into her daughter's area to check out a couple of mansions. Both days were slow (12 min and 11 min respectively)

Here's a Garmin link to play what the 10 miles looked like.

The XC race starts at 10 AM this Saturday so I'd say all those that plan on slipping and sliding on the leaves, tripping on the rocks and otherwise romping around in the woods might want to assemble around 9 AM in the vicinity of the Start.
