Another busy week. Let me take you through it...
Monday- Amy's awards dinner (I ran after the diner since I didn't know I was going until Monday morning
Tuesday- Girls Sectional...
Amy was tired of hearing the talk from one of the local sprinters about how she was going to win 4 events at sectional...so...Amy won 4. The 4 X 800 to start the night, 5:18 in the 1600 (mile), 2:23 in the 800, and finally 11:52 in the 3200 (2 mile). Here's the kicker, in Indiana the boys and girls run seperate sectionals so her rest between the 800 and the 3200 was 5 minutes...the time it took to run the 200 m and clear the track. Her and our #2 runner both made this double, they finished, jogged down to the clerk of the course at the other end of the track and then walked back to start. They took 1-2 in both races!!!
As a team, we won by 70 points. The sprinter did win her 4 events, we'll see who ends up on the medal stand at the state finals.
Wednesday- Light workout (warm up/ 4 x 1000/ cool down) (3:11, 3:07, 3:06, 2:58) in the rain.
Thursday- Boys Sectional...
The boys team won by less (only 30) but the distance runners had there hands full the whole night. The favorite to win the state title in the 3200 is in our section...and he's not on our team.
4 x 800 - 1st (soph 2:03 / frosh 2:05/ 2:05/ 2:05)
1600- Brandon 3rd 4:39 / Milton 5th 4:42 (frosh)
800- John 2:06 4th / Milton 2:07 5th (frosh)
3200- This was THE race of the night Anthony vs Zack. 8 laps between 2 of the top 5 runners in the state. In the rain and the wind they battled for 7 laps before trading shots down the back strech of the last lap. Coming off the final turn Anthony was able to open it up and pull away (9:22) and Zack came in 2nd (9:25)
Tomorrow is a trail half marathon for me so today was an easy day. While I've been working the miles back up next week will be the true start of my summer training. I'll keep you posted.
Week 3 wrapped up today with in a run 12 degree weather and a -2 wind chill....sound bad? Try running 18 miles in it. Another busy week awaits me but the weather looks a little better. Anything without a negative in front of it works for me. If the weather allows I'm going to try to jump into a race next weekend. Just a local 5k but I need to get in a couple for workouts...and this time of year there are not a lot to choose from.
Next Saturday is our telethon for UCP. It is one of our 2 major fund raisers for the year. It makes up about 40% of our total budget for the year so the success of the telethon is very important to our yearly activities. Also we have our presentation to the United Way for the funding they provide next week (this makes up a very small portion of our budget..less than 1%) which is always a painful presentation (because it requires a full overview of our annual budget). So....I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyway here is the wrap up of week 3
Friday- 8 Miles (21 degrees)
Saturday- 10 Miles (15 degrees)
Sunday- 18 Miles (14 degrees)
Week 3 Total- 73 miles
11 Week program after 3 weeks- 222 Miles
