PMI: XC Practice

We did a short warmup, some stretching, drills & strides, and then a timed mile. Our top guy and I did 5:36. I told everybody to keep it at 90% effort. Within a minute or two, everyone was recovered. Some people who started the year at 10 or 11 minutes for the timed mile are down to 7 or 8 minutes. Amazing how much progress you can make in a few weeks when your baseline is zero. It's been fun though.

PMII: Treadmill - 27:56

Ran a couple of extra miles at Gold's this evening. The achilles was sore and it was a boring run, but better than nothing.

Good to see you out running still.

How is the XC team doing this year?

Jeff,

Our city meet is tomorrow which will wrap up the season. We aren't the best team but our improvements have been pretty good and the kids are enjoying it. I'll call that a success at junior high.

Hope your recovery is going well. Way to push it though and finish in brutal conditions.

John
