We ran out to the Cove today in the wind.  The workout was 10 one minute

fartleks with on minute recoveries.  We kept the group with us this

time and had about 10 guys in the pack.  It felt good to do that again

for me, I haven't been able to run that fast in a long time.  We

averaged a 7:37 for the run.

SO excited that the new Herriman coach is on the blog! I had no idea! There is a girl in my ward that has been contemplating doing CC and I keep telling her that I'm going to just come pick her up early in the morning and get her there! Sounds like you need some girls!

GREAT pace for the run, and running that pace up the hills to the cove isn't easy. Sounds like the team is going to be doing great things this year.

Maybe someday I'll catch you out on the road...if I can ever get my lazy butt out of bed again!

Yeah, I'm one of the old original bloggers. Tell you little girl in your ward to come out and join us, we have a great new bunch of kids. Our team blog is: herrimanxc.blogspot.com.

Did you really name your kid Fartlek?

From RAD on Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 17:08:11 from 67.172.229.125

lol! No, we couldn't decide on a name for a long time (until the hospital) so as I was running prego all my fellow bloggers gave him that name :)

I'm glad I came across your blog, I will have to keep up with you now! Well...on the blog, I don't think I could running.

I'll have to prod Mandy a little more to get her out. She'd do a great job, probably not super fast, but she can definitely do the distance!

I didn't know you were going to be at Herriman HS, that's pretty cool. I hope you're inheriting some of the best runners from RHS in the process...

RAD - I am relieved to know that you didn't really name your baby Fartlek! If you know any kids that run send them out, even if it takes some prodding.

Calvin, yes I moved over to Herriman. Coach Garlick and Nicholson came as well, so we should have a very competitive team in track soon. I had a couple of my best kids come over from Riverton, but most are new. We have a very good young team though and I think we will surprise a lot of people, including my ex-athletes who stayed at Riverton.

We are putting on a road race on August 21st. It will be a 4 miler and we will also have a kid's race. It will have a chuck wagon breakfast afterward and should be very affordable and fun. Spread the word to your local running friends.
