in Practice by coach mike on 10 Sep 2007
6 am thats early! They wanted to do it, so we met at the school a little before 6 am today. Nice little early morning run. Some of the boys went over 4 miles and some went 3 miles, the girls went 3 miles. They ran well. I was proud of them. I then went to work, my job requires me to do some traveling, and this is the week for traveling. I had planned on being back in time for practice, but got a late start from work. So I had to set up practice over the phone, I’ll be gone most of the rest of the week. Sometimes I feel I’m letting the kids down by not being there, but I have some good help. The afternoon practice was set up for different workouts for different runners. The group of girls that ran that morning ran a warm up and then 2 sets of 4×400, time range of 85 to 90 seconds. Then a mile cool down, good days work for meghan,alyssa, courtney and paige. Sent Mollie and Lindsay on a 4 mile run straight back to the track for 2 hard 200’s. The rest of the girls kaity, ellie, tessa, and abby did 4 miles and 8 x 100, 2 of which were sprints. The top groups of boys did a warm up then 3 sets of 4×400, hitting around 70 seconds range, then a cool down, lots of good hard work today. Drew, Jacob, Jordan and the rest did a great job today. I’ll miss the next couple of days, but I’m sure they will work hard.
