There were 10 of us at the track tonight. Audrey, Terry and Ginny did mile repeats. Vicki, Becky, Mike, Dee and Eric did 400-600-800-600-400. I'm not exactly sure about the woriout for Scott and Jamie. Including WU and CD we all did a total of about 5 miles---except for Terry who did more. Come on out and join us next week.

Tonight was the final week for speed work in preparation for Hobble Gobble. It was quite cool (cold) and I was concerned that no one would show at Thames. When I got there Terry was already doing his workout as he is tapering for his marathon.

I was alone at the scheduled start time and since my hamstrings were still a bit sore from Saturday's race, I decided to do something a little less difficult than the whistle drill: 4 x 100, 3 x 200, 2 x 400 and 1 x 800 at 5K race pace and with equal distance jog recovery. Just as I was getting started, here came Audrey. Then Kily showed up, followed by Eric, Susan and Mike. I think Susan ran a total of 4 miles and rest of us did 5 miles.

It was a beautiful evening and it really felt good when we had finished. I appreciate that Kily and Audrey came looking for me when they realized that my car was still in the parking lot, but they couldn't find me. I had taken to the streets for my cooldown. It's nice to have such good friends.
