Half way there

Hard to believe that the first three months of the program have come and gone, leaving us only three more to go.  I’m really starting to see improvements in not only your speed, but also the forms of many of you.  You’re looking stronger!  We have had 80 total runners come out thus far and it seems as if half that number keeps coming back each and every week.  We had 41 runners again come out and do what turned out to be a very difficult workout.  With the combination of many of us coming off an Equinox hangover and the summer heat, many of us struggled. 

          The tough workouts that we’re able to survive are what helps build up not only our endurance levels, but also our confidence.  I know personally, when I get hit in the face by a wall during a race, I can think back to these difficult workouts and say to myself “this is nothing compared to that Tuesday night, now Dig Deeper”. 

          We still have 3 runners with perfect attendance even if Rod did skip out early (you didn’t think I would notice).  I had tickets to the Boston vs Phillies game Tuesday night, which turned out to be one hell of a game for the Phillies.  I have made a commitment to you all to be there for you every week and I plan on doing that.  I can only hope that you all will continue to be as committed as you have been lately. The numbers at the track each and every week are incredible.
