Tuesday’s workout was again extremely hot, bringing out all the concerned mothers and nursed Betty’s. Last year was supposedly the hottest summer we have ever had and we somehow survived that. I stress over and over that each runner needs to listen to his or her body. I’m not in the business of babying anyone, but I also don’t want any one going down on the track due to heat exhaustion, so be smart. Even with all the wining during warm-ups we had 8 runners runner their fastest timed mile this year. No one had an extreme drop off from prior times either. The following ran their fastest mile on Tuesday: Cory, Wendy, Shirley, Jay, Paul, Mary, Glenn, and Eric Tobias! Nice work! Your improvements are what keep me going with the workouts. We had a total of 26 runners come out to run in the heat.
Who: Allyson, myself, Melissa, Andy, Jay, Joe, Paul, Rich, Cory, Mary, Dennis (welcome back), Eric T, Charlotte, Kami (welcome back), Carolyn, Rahim, Shirley, Steve, Maria, Bill Gould (1st timer Welcome!), Mike G, Mike B, Sharon, Greg Z, Eric L (3 times in a row), and Wendy.
Way to mustard up the strength to get your butts out of the air conditioning and the courage to work out in the extreme heat. This will make you stronger I promise.
Workout: 1 mile warm-up, stretch, 1 mile hard (timed), 6x400 (400), 1 mile cool down.
Looking for another reason to do these hot workouts, good simulation of River to Sea conditions.
I hope to see you next week!
Thank you,
CT
