Oh what fun it was to run in the rain…

Thank you to everyone that showed up – I think without a doubt it was one of the greatest track nights ever.  We had 15 brave souls that endured the rain and completed the workout.  There wasn’t much of a warm-up – we did a lap around the track, some leg swings and went right into our first interval.  I know these were not ideal conditions to run in, but these kind of training days are what I call character building days – if you can run through rain and wind like we experienced last night, you can run through anything.  Let that be a great lesson/experience that you can look back on whenever you are in a race and having a tough time – remember the effort it took to come out to the track and complete the intervals that one day….

I think all in all everyone had a really good time – it reminded me of when I was a kid and all I wanted to do was be outside playing when it rained, what about you all?

If you weren’t there, don’t worry about it too much, you are still a good person, but be sure to make up the workout, today would be an ideal to do so.  500M, rest 3 minutes, 1000M, rest 3 minutes, 1500M, rest 3 minutes, 1000M, rest 3 minutes, 500M, rest 3 minutes.

Great job to the new folks on the track as well – Angel & Trasie, I think you all did great last night and are going to blend in really well with the group.  A shout out to Jose who was in NY and did this workout on his own and emailed me his times.  If you are part of the 5k group, please get it done and let me know how the workout went for you.

See you all Saturday, I will send out an email tomorrow and post location meeting & time.  It will be @ Mission Bay by the gazebo
