Cross Country

Today I began assistant coaching with the high school cross country team. This is a great gig that I really enjoy and we have a really great group this year. Today I ran the warm-up with the team and then tacked on an extra mile. Then I helped time the team as they did mile repeats. Followed that up by running the two mile cool down. All in all a good little workout.

The PF felt okay today. I'd rate it as moderate. I didn't notice it during the run, only during the day when I was teaching.

Ran 5.0 miles total.

#1: Ran 3.0 miles @ 7:27/mile pace.
#2: Ran 2.0 miles @ 7:46/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
Mid 70s, sunny.
Shorts, short sleeved shirt.

Bring the skull to intimidate them. Tell them if they don't hit their splits they'll be forced to wear the Skeletor Sock!

It is great that you share your experience with a group of budding runners. Nothing like giving back to the sport...good on you!

Keep at it with the various remedies and don't back off when it gets better (like now). Good luck in the final weeks to MDI!

Teach less. Run more.
