What a nice day for a workout. So nice, I decided we would run over to Pells Park and do some quarter mile repeats. The team was really happy to get away from working out on our delightful course, so their eagerness should not have astounded me.
It's almost exactly a mile to Pells, so it was really cool to see the team trot on over while chatting and generally goofing around. A far cry from a month ago when we had to stop about every other block. How refreshing.
We went through our regular stretching, drills, and pull out routine before doing 8 repeat quarters with a 90 second rest interval. We responded real well to the work, but by #7 we were getting gassed. That's exactly what I wanted to see. The kids worked their tail off on #7, since that's always the toughest one to get through. After all, anyone can do the last one, which I told them to give it a real go.
We're working pretty hard these next couple of days, with our Kickapoo run tomorrow. A pretty tough course, yet we look forward to the challenge. Even more so, Friday is THE MAIN THING we've been focusing in on for the last couple of weeks, so I look forward to some fantastic performances.
