Monster Workout

There was an energy and excitement around the team yesterday that only comes after having a monster workout. A monster workout that everybody destroyed.

We headed back to Conway looking for some revenge. Last week, the first 5k workout was a bit of a struggle. This time it was 1200s added up to the same volume at a touch faster pace. With a new attitude and readiness, we took care of business today. A slight change in the course helped us put up fast times. The packs looked great as the guys stayed together and pushed each other through the workout. I even had a pack today with Rob running alongside.

The Morning Practice Club had a nice pre 7:00am 2 mile run. I got to call a little play-by-play of the run which was a lot of fun. We followed that with core, saving weights for after the workout. So after the cool down and stretching we went to the weight room for the highly anticipated Upper Body Circuit. 30 seconds at 10 stations with 30 seconds in between. Then do it all over again. We got huge, especially Matt who had to end on dips.

Coach announced the Runners of Week who all earned a free chocolate milk for their efforts. The winners: in the freshmen race, Jackson Lamping; in the sophomore race, Mackenzie Smith; in the JV race, Josh Goetz; in the Varsity, Matt O’Connor. With Coach Russo out, Coach Traughber took over the paragraph writing duties.

Quote of the Day: “Delicious!”- Michael Callahan in response to being asked how the workout was.

Best Dressed: Seiler. Sometimes it’s a factor outside of the team to earn a win. That’s what Jacob did the last two days. He had on the same shirt as a girl on the Westminster team both days. Yesterday it was the Saucony “We run XC” shirt, and today it was the 2010 Rim Rock shirt. It’s hard enough to coordinate with guys on our team, but he managed to do twice with another team.
