30` on the treadmill + 60` on the elliptical. We got up super early to cheer for people running the Jim Click 8k. The course is pretty much all on the U of A campus and the proceeds go to adaptive athletics program here. There are a HUGE group of wheelchair athletes who train here in town. As a matter of fact, most of the athletes from here travel and win most big races (the overall winner of the Bix 7 mile race this past summer is one of these athletes). These guys (and gals) are tough as nails. Anyway, the McMillan elite group had a great day with the two top women from Gregs group taking the race (Jamie Winslow, nee Cantenberry, and Erin Bidell, running 29:23 and 29:33, respectively). In the mens race, a local hero took the honors (~23:50) with an "ex-McMillan elite" Ian Burrell taking 2nd (24:00). Then 3rd and 4th were some new McMillan Elite talent that just moved to Flagstaff , Scott Smith and Marco Anzures) -- there is a 13:36 5Ker that just joined the team, but he did not come down for the race, I would have loved to meet him (Aaron Braun - a 16 time All-American who won 6 national championships while at Adams State). Fun morning! Now I have to get back to work. I hope you are having wonderful weekends, relishing in your family, your races and your dreams!!
