Gorgeous 50 + degree day.
Had some guys working 200's on the track, a few us us doing 1000s near the hills and quite a few doing hill strides.
1 mile w/u / strething and drills
2 mile run to the hills / k's at 6:29 / 2 mile run back. had to cut our k's a bit short, as the temp dropped and the road began to ice over very quickly. Gingerly made it back to the school, though with purpose at 6:50s to top off our workout.
Returned to the school in time to change, send the boys for pizza and begin to welcome 8th graders at the High School. incoming 8th graders for next year wandered around our halls and cafeteria to learn about our sports and clubs and do preliminary sgn ups. There was barely a break as we did double duty for track and cross country and got LOTS of contact info. If we even get half the kids that signed up today, we will be HUGE!
Just found out that I won a comp entry into the Fast and Flurry-ous 4 mile XC race in Boulder. there's prize money, so many olympians will come over, do a quick tempo and leave with some cash in their pocket. This will be a great shakeout for Cross nationals in San Diego on the 5th--AND it should be messy!! with mud and melting snow. Good times...
Taking Drew back to Alamosa tomorrow...sigh...so will have to run up there (at 8700 feet) for pre-race before I drive back down again. |
