Track Day - 06.23.10 - Wednesday

I both dread and love track nights.

I dread what Coach Darrell has in store with us but I love leaving there accomplishing something new and challenging and of course getting to know my TNT teammates. Last night was no exception. Lighting Linda was close by when we did our track exercise which was:

Warm up – 400 Meters (one time around entire track)

3 Sets of:
Running 400 Meters at 80-90% speed
Running 200 Meters at slow pace at 50-60% speed
Running last 200 Meters at 80-90% speed
Cool down walk for two minutes

Cool Down – Light jog for 800 Meters (2 times around entire track)

I found out that Lightning Linda lived in my birthplace Cebu City, Philippines for several years and that her eldest daughter was born in the Philippines…I mean what a small world!

I also really like my new pace and running buddy Andrea. She and I did our warm up and cool down together and we are looking forward to our 9 mile run for this Saturday with the both the West and East running teams combined. I did miss my new TNT friend Keli and of course or loveable Mentor Diane.

Coach Darrell advised his better half Coach Heidi is battling with a bad back and can hardly move. I hope she will be OK by the time Saturday comes because she is the only TNT running coach that will be leading our combined run this Saturday since her hubby Coach Darrell and Eastside running Coach Carl are leaving for Idaho this weekend for their Ironman Triathalon…phew
