Getting closer to that first meet of the year. Not sure if we are ready, some practices I think we are ready and then I realize or think we are not. So I guess that means we need a meet, we might not be ready but we need a meet. Like any sport, you train, you practice, some sports you scrimmage against each other and some point in time its time to lace up the shoes and go at it. Well we are getting to that point for most of the “kids”. Lace em up, tie them tight and get after it!

Still hot out there, Wednesday is suppose to be very hot and then a storm coming through. I hope it cools things now. We varied the workouts today. The men did a hill workout, while the women did another distance run. We moved to the park in town, Foundation Park, for our workout to try to get some shade. Don’t forget to turn in those shirt orders by next Wednesday.

Tough time for the kids today. The distance wasn’t that far, most of the issue was the heat. Should make us tougher…. just might take some time to recover. Just need to drink plenty of fluids and take care of yourself. Eat right and fuel your bodies. And get your rest. We have to get our mileage up or for some of you keep the mileage up. We need to see how well everyone responds. I hate to say this but some of the girls might be working to hard, you want to see that, but there are times when some of the work outs are for building distance, building miles, maybe a couple of you went to hard on this workout today. Then again some of you probably didn’t or couldn’t run the workout hard enough today. Something to talk about. Don’t get me wrong, don’t read anything into above, because I love it when run to front and push each other, battling to lead in practice. And I would take that over the opposite anytime.
