PM: 8-mile Run with Cory in SH. We both had knee pain, so it felt good to not be the only injured person.
Late PM: 3 miles at the track... "running" with the team. Back to being the only injured person! That was fast. I love working with them. It's really nice to see people accomplish things they truly thought they couldn't do literally every week. One guy, Tim, ran all 4 of his total mileage in under 38 minutes. This seems like no big deal until you realize he's never bested a 10-minute mile twice in a row- let alone 4 with recoveries counting against him in between. Very impressive. Pacing him on the last 1200 and offering encouragement was as fun as teaching- but almost better since you knew and he knew that he had gotten better and more fit.
