Today was our 7/11 run. We ran a 7.5 mile loop that encompassed 6 Seven-Elevens. At each one we drank a Slurpee since it was Free Slurpee Day. Well, the team did. I chose not to put my body through that kind of torture. I'm a big wimp. This was one of the most entertaining runs I have ever done. It may not have been one of my fastest runs, but we got good mileage in, and we had fun. That's one thing I want the East High kids to take away from their cross country experience. You can work hard running, but have fun too.
My hip was a little sore from yesterday's fartlek workout and the downhill running in today's course. I need to be careful, but it's nice to be increasing the mileage bit by bit. |
