I met my Varsity kids in Herriman at the park across from Smiths. We did a two mile warm up to Butterfield park and then did a two mile tempo run. The guys were faster than I was in the first mile and I never quite caught up to them in the second. My first mile was 5:38 and the second was 5:30. We jogged back up a mile and ran one last hard mile. This time I stuck right with my top five guys, in fact we were all within 2-3 seconds of each other. Bryce was in front with a 4:53 and I was in back with a 4:56. It is always nice to be able to break a 5 minute mile, it gives an old man confidence!:) We cooled down for 1.5 miles and then did .5 miles with some strides for a rundown on the grass barefooted. This was a great workout for me and the kids. I just wish I would have been doing this all summer! 8 miles total. |
