Saturday Training

Another week of training for us TNTers. Another week closer to your ultimate goal. To complete a half or full marathon. A 5 or 6 mile run.walk for most of you. It wasn't as humid as last week, but for me, the pollen count most have been in the trillions.

I was hoping to go 8 and had to cut it short. I'm gonna have to start running in the desert. 

Anyway, everyone is doing great. Wednesday will be a group practice on the thrack and Harley will be there to get you to run/walk fast. I won't be there physically, but I will be thinking about all the fun you will have while I am stuck in a VMware seminar.

I'll see everyone next Saturday.

Track Practice #1

Today was the first track practice for the summer TNT session. I was there with a few alums and 4 newbies. Us alums will break them in. I'll find out all their names eventually and what they are training for. I know there are a few halfers and a few fulls. One is training for the Nike women's marathon. 

Most of the halfers are walkers which is awesome. I have tried to walk with walkers and I cannot do it. I can't walk that fast. It hurts and gets me out of breath and I am sore the next day. Walkers are awesome.

The full runners are fast. It was all I could do to keep up. I will have to do extra work to keep up. 

Harley is once again coaching for the track sessions. I have worked out under him in the past and he can be a slave driver. A polite one but still tough. I hope I (and the others) survive. 

We will be back at LOW (Lake of the Woods) on Saturday. I believe they will be doing 6/4 respectively. I will do my 8 minimum. Maybe I should do the trail twice and run 10. Hmmm...
