10.10 miles in the morning.
10.05 miles in the evening.
I ran just over 6 miles with the cross country team this morning. I took some of the team on a 5 miler at a moderate pace with a good kick at the end. We went out along River Road going towards the Arizona Strip. After we finished, many of them stated they had never done a 5 mile run before. I couldn't believe this. I am going to push them this year. I want them to get to the point where 5 miles doesn't feel like a "long" run. Some did a 3 mile run this morning. Everyone did great this morning. I am very excited for the team this year. I did another 4 miles afterwards. Meat Grinders this evening.
Another 3 Meat Grinders for the evening. It was nice and hot. I was feeling better than last week so I wanted to push them to see how well I could do. I hit 7:10, 7:03, and 7:12 for the hill repeats. It was a solid effort and I am very happy with tonight's workout. It was nice to see everyone push it this evening. These will make us stronger runners. Bedtime now! |
