More, more, MORE!

Ladies,

Today is the beginning of the third week of summer training, and we upped the mileage again. Runners were allowed to go out to the 6-mile distance, with most going 4-5 miles. We're a little behind what we should be, but with the injuries we have there is little choice. We'll get where we need to be soon enough.

Wendy Miller ran with us again today. She's a great addition to the summer training - she's an experienced runner, having completed everything from track to ultra-marathons. She's an 18-minute 5k and 3:18 marathon runner, and if that doesn't mean anything to you, it means she's elite. Wendy also has a Ph.D. in Nursing. Needless to say, she's quite accomplished.

From time-to-time there will be other women from the community running with us. It is so important for you to see role models from all walks of life who enjoy this sport. As a father of two daughters, I can't say enough how vital it is to communicate to you the value of these connections.

Tomorrow we do a speed exercise. Parkview track, 8 AM!
