Records are Meant to be Broken

“Congratulations.  I knew the record would stand until it was broken.”
-Yogi Berra

            If you made it out to tonight’s workout you are officially apart of Bucks County Speedsters history.  We finally reached the 30’s for attendance!  We had only hit the 29 mark twice (once at the track and once at the hills) in our two years as an official club.  To have as many runners come out as we did tonight is incredible.  As goofy as it might sound, I was actually a tad emotional over the record breaking size of our group this evening.   The most touching part of tonight was hearing so many different voices offering words of encouragement to each other. 



Tonight’s hill in my opinion is the toughest hill in Tyler Park.  I know this was up for debate after the workout.  The great thing about Tyler is that there are so many challenging hills, of different lengths, making a great debate possible.  If you didn’t come tonight, or maybe you did and you ran out of fingers and toes to help with the counting, and your curious to know what the total number was…(drum roll please)…We had 37 total runners come out and work the Covered Bridge hill.  I’m thinking of making every Thursday a Covered Bridge Hill workout…

Can we hit 40?


Coming out tonight:

Allyson, Tim, Jay, Tom, Cece, Bharminder, Harris, Lauren, Brian, Steve Hallman (First Timer!  Welcome!), Glenn, Christine, Jeff, Renee, Christa, Barb, Neil, Carol, Nick, Samariah, myself, Charlotte, Mary, Kevin, Melissa, Matt, Mike, Scott, Greg, Jimbo, Donna, Cherie, Pearl, Denise, Anthony, Michele, and Seymour.

Way to come out and push each other through a difficult workout.

Workout:

1 mile warm-up
Covered Bridge Repeats (6x400 (400))
1 mile cool down

Next up:

Don’t forget we are moving back to our home track on Tuesday, Council Rock South!


Till we run into each other again…
