Track practice Thursday 6/18

Ah we are back at the track. I have begun to notice that there is a delineation between the overall group in ability. there is about 4 or 5 guys at the top that are pretty fast. I do wonder how many of them will actually be able to do that pace for 6 miles, but they all seem like good runners so I have a feeling that they will be fine.

There is another group (of which I am included) that are just behind the first group but I know from personal experience that the pace we have been setting is way to aggressive. We are working on CORE strength for another week then we begin to push our endurance out a little. I also found out that we should be working on CORE strength after every workout!

YIKES! Hope that mistake doesn't come back to haunt me.

The CORE piece is the hardest but most rewarding part. I have also noticed a difference in my overall flexibility from the yoga which is nice. Unfortunately the CORE is also the piece that is hurting my knee the most. Ivy wants me to go to the doctor but I am thinking it is a little early for that. We'll see.

The fundraising to this point is at $820 I think which is good. I still have people from NASA to contribute as well as coworkers from the pier. I also have my immediate family like my sister mom and dad. Over all I am thinking that it is going to be tight, really tight to hit $3300 by September. But who knows that Silent Auction will be the barometer. A good showing from that and we will be ok. If not then trouble city.

Today I am going to Swim in lieu of missing Monday's workout. I think I might try to swim and rum but I will see how my knee feels. Tomorrow is the coaches practice at Burgess and it is our first brick training. 45 minutes of biking and an hour of swimming. We will see how that goes.
