October 1st, 2024- Hello October

COVID-19, “ The Rona Era”

Hello October, you came here pretty fast. This is when time will fly by quickly. In case people did not know October-November-December is one month. The first of the month started off very early. I took the Iowan to the airport for his six a.m. flight. Since I was up, I just kept going to track practice. I don’t know if I can run, since I have not been doing it. This is a chance to give it a try, at least one lap. This is the second to last outdoor summer track.

Let me tell you, it is dark. 6 a.m. it was still dark outside. The track was quiet and dark. The only sound I eventually heard were the ROTC peeps. MB, showed up and told me that the stadium lights come on at 6 a.m. for them. Well, 6:02a.m. the stadium lights came on.

At first not a lot of folks came to the track. I ran a lap around the track. Ok, not bad. I did not do the 8 min warm up because I needed to save my legs. For today’s last hard workout. We did 4x800s at MGP, 5k, MGP, 5k pace. Then 8 min temp run. For the finally it was 6x200s.

I was able to run one lap with team red for the MGP- Marathon goal pace. The second time I did it, I started to limp a bit. Too soon, too much.

Team Red killed it today. So proud of them. We had a good BGR Boston representation this morning. It was a good morning. Coach Dan gave me extra insights about my knee. Stay Healthy. MB recommendation a sports massage to get. I need to do all of these things.
