Excellent Workout Today!

It was good to see all of the new faces as well as the old ones today. The winter conditioning group had an awesome workout at which they have slowly built up to over several months. If you are new to running don't get discouraged - some of the people you saw being awesome today were back where you are last year at this time. Some of you I purposely held back to evaluate where you are physically, since I hadn't seen you at all this winter. It is better to hold you back and prevent an injury then allow you to jump in and do to much and then have to nurse an injury for several weeks.
If you are new to running please take the time to read this entire blog to gather information on running and to get a sense of our history.
Tomorrow we will be going on a longer slower run. Please use all walk lights. I will attempt to send you on a run which will take you off the pavement. Here are some thoughts about running off campus. Always run with a partner or better yet more people. There is safety in numbers. Remember that you are invisible to drivers. Don't expect them to automatically stop for you. The law says they should, so you would be in the right if they ran over you, but you would be dead right. Respect private and public property. I will quiz you over this at practice tomorrow.
