Good Day
In addition to being THE Good day, Sunday was a good day for training. The weather was perfect for an long, uptempo workout. I did an 8.4 mi run (4.2 mi out and back). I took it out in 29:57 and brought it back in 26:37. I felt pretty tight on the way out, but by mi. 3 I was loosening up a bit. By the turn I felt pretty good and locked into a nice uptempo groove for the final four.
This is a good checkpoint after just a couple of weeks back in training. I hope it bodes well for my winter series.
Son #1 also had a nice run on Sunday. He set a PR in the USATF District meet, completing the 3000m Cross Country course in 11:51. Excellent work from him and almost 10 seconds better than Nationals last year!
Sammie Chelanga ran away with the NCAA Div. I men’s Cross Country meet in Terre Haute yesterday with an impressive performance.
