Ladies,
I know you are sick of Washington Avenue. I know. Really. I know. I. Know.
Think of it this way though... after this week, some of you will never have to run on it again. Let that sink in. Ever. Again. And you'll miss it.
When the season starts, our options are limited. We have to run on or near the course at all times. The course is pretty hilly, really a bit too hilly to run every single day. We'll need to find some flatter runs to give your legs proper rest. We're stretched pretty thin on flatter options out there. And that's when you'll miss Washington Avenue.
Hang in there one more week!
Tomorrow we are working hard again, probably hills. I like to leave myself out in case I get an epiphany, but don't count on it. We are still in transitions phase as of now.
I'd like to remind everyone to get those physicals in! This would also be a good time to mention shoes... if you've been in the same pair for a while, it might be a good time to get a new pair for the season. Food for thought: I only put 300 miles on a pair of shoes. At my weight, I wear out the cushioning that fast. You won't get much more than that either. Remember, it's cheaper to buy shoes than visit the doctor.
I picked up a couple of catalogs from the Athletic Dept. today. I suggest the seniors head up the selection committee, unless you'd like me to pick the uniform. Don't worry, if you don't want to do it, I have my eye on some red plaid shorts and green polka dotted tops. I think they'd be excellent. I'll even get a set for myself if you want.
