Ran from East High school up to Dry creek trail head and added another three miles from there up the trail before turning back. Total of ten miles with the distance kids from East. They have their first track meet friday and the trail was a good softer surface option. I think trail running helps strengthen the core and the wide range of terrain will also help with overall strength. They may be a little tired going into this meet with speed work Wednesday, and this ten miler today, but increasing their fittness now will pay off in the meets to come at the end of the season when it counts most.
Evening run, 8 miles on the treadmill at the gym. I wanted to catch the last half of the BYU game so this was a good option. Mixed feelings on the game... Utah fan .... so would have liked to seen them win but wasn't heart broken either. And I can tell my Y friends they haven't won a real game in over 15 years now. |
