Split Squad

With multiple meets this week, the team was split into two different groups. The guys racing on Friday had a long run plus core. The guys running on Wednesday or Thursday had a speed workout. This workout combined tempo and race pace. It worked on running race pace when you’re tired.

The highlight of today’s practice was the highly anticipated arrival of the winter training shirts. Rob appeared with the goods as the workout was winding down. The shirts turned out awesome; they were so good that Rob wished he would have made one for himself. Congratulations to everyone who worked hard and earned the shirt. Remember WEAR your new shirt tomorrow and bring your FIVE DOLLARS. We will be taking a winter training shirt picture tomorrow, and you don’t want to miss out.

Quote of the Day: “Drink water or eat an apple”- Coach Traughber talking about how we need to focus on making ourselves better, not on other people’s times.

Joke of the Day: “And COD”- Coach Leeman in the backgroung while Coach Traughber was listing things to do to get better.

Best Dressed: OC. He proved that he knows what it takes to match clothes. His red shorts not only matched his red headband but also the letters on his shirt. That shirt being last year’s winter training shirt which added a nice out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new element to his look. I’d also like to give Mackenzie S an honorable mention for his all Nike look.
