WOW!

Today we had a very tough workout. 5 x 400, 4-5 x 800, 6 x 200, all on varying terrain, all with very short rest. The toughest workout of the fall, in my opinion. To make matters a little trickier, the temperature was in the high 70's, unseasonably warm for this time of year.

Well, I shouldn't have been worried, because the WTAFC just killed it today. Everyone was running their hearts out. Kids were running through major leg cramps, running their fastest times on the last interval, pushing through their splits ten seconds fast, dragging themselves to the starting line every time. We had no slip-ups, no one falling off, no one quitting. Everyone ran to the utmost of their abilities, and if you do that you will reach your true potential. It was impressive to watch, I was very, very proud of everyone today. The old mirror story rings true today, everyone can go home and look themselves in the mirror and say they gave it their all today. That's awesome!

Tonight, try and relax, take an epsom salt bath, and stretch and stretch some more. Tomorrow, nice and easy twenty minute run to get the stiffness out, Friday, be at the Stonegate Pool Park at 3:15 for some speedwork before Saturday's race. As for Saturday, let's meet at my house at 10:30, bring plenty of water and clothes; so we can carpool/caravan over as a team.

Again, awesome job today, you should all be very proud of yourselves.
