Preparing for Outdoor: Meet #1
Even though its been a while since I've last written, not a whole lot has happened here in St. Paul. It was beautiful weather on Saturday, so I was able to run in shorts and a t-shirt. The good weather was short lived though, because it snowed six inches today and it doesn't show signs of letting up anytime soon. With some luck, it will heat up towards the end of the week and we'll get outside before the Hamline Invitational on Saturday.
We had a short workout today, which was a nice change. Here is what it looked like
7:30am run: 3 mile jog in 21:00
8:00pm workout: 1.5 mile warm up
3x300m @ 39, 38, and 37 seconds with a 6 minute break between each
1 mile cool down
I can't remember the last time I had to run fast for more than 200m at practice. It felt really good to open up a little bit and work on my form. It was also nice not to think for a change. Usually in longer workouts I am focused on hitting splits during the intervals, but in shorter workouts all I have to do is run fast (and for me that seems to be a bit easier). If you're a mid-distance or long distance runner, I'm sure you know what I mean by that statement.
In other news, some the Concordia Track and Field squad competed at the St. Johns Invitational this past weekend. Although it changed to an indoor meet, there were still some good performances. Adam Lemay highlighted the day by almost qualifying in pole vault, which is pretty good considering this is only his second year competeing! I fully expect him to place at nationals within the next couple years. Freshman Kevin Koglin also did well coming off a hamstring injury which he sustained in high school, and again this year. His 200m time won't turn any heads, but his 100m should be in contention for a conference champion title. We'll see as the year goes on...
I'll leave this blog entry a little shorter today, because I'll have plenty to talk about later in the week. I hope you are all running strong, and staying warm if you're in the north!
God Bless
