AM 8.50 Miles with XC team. Today was our rock run up dry creek trail by the JCC. I started it 5 years ago, and what I have the kids do is select two rocks about the size of an apple, one for each hand, and run the first mile and a half carrying them to the overlook where we have a rock pile that is growing each year. It is a way to think about your arms as you run. not carrying them to high or over swinging. Kind of fun to see the pile grow. Was concerned at first that the trail would be to wet but it was better than I expected. Most of the girls are at girls camp the remainder of the week, but it was nice to see that several got out and ran before they left at 7 am this morning on their own. Good Job, girls. PM 6 Miles on the treadmill at Gold's Cardio theater. Started at 8.1 and bumped it .1 every half but I was watching Taken an action flick that really gets you moving in the last part of the movie. Ran the last mile at 10 so a 6 minute mile to finish, 41:23 total time. Got in the pool for fifteen minutes and then the Hot tub. |
