I ran this morning with Drake DaPont, a 2008 graduate, and 1600m record holder at Mt. Si High School. He redshirted last year at WSU but will be running this year for the team. They have an outstanding team this year. It was good to run with him. I know his mom pretty well as she is the coach of the distance runners on the HS track team and she's been a big help in recruiting volunteers for my local races.
It was kind of funny...we both did hard workouts yesterday and were hoping to just run an easy 7:00 pace. At mile 4 or so he suggested we were doing 6:00 pace. I said no way but looked at my watch and sure enough, we were running 6:05s. OOOPS. We just got busy gabbing and lost track of the pace. Need to slow it down tomorrow. |
