Tuesday Track got off to a beautiful Summer morning start with Chris Addis arriving at the F&M oval somewhere around 5:30 AM. Most of the morning group arrived by 6:30 and ran either the 5,4,3,2,1 minute ladder or the 800m Yassos. Four x 1-mile repeats at threshold pace were nicely done by Sam and Caleb. Nathan skipped by for a few laps and said he will be “back tonight to double”.
The Trials of Miles has its rewardsA.M. Track group –
Addis, Charles, Kirchner, Mohler, Newcomer W, Paul, Reissinger, Seigford, Spataro, Gerstebacher (pacing Caleb) , and Henderson

Told them I suck at names but was taking attendance. Turns out, their origin story is through Jonas, who’s been urging them to come. And words to the effect of Seeing all those F&M singlets “up front” at every race, we are tired of losing to them.

Running quote of the week:
“Listening to your body is not only a technique for monitoring your day-to-day condition but also one of running’s pleasures. Most members of our sedentary society feel remote from their bodies. Under the stress of running, the functions we don’t often talk about – belching, spitting, breaking wind, inevitably occur. If these happen in the company of our running partners, no one takes notice.”
― Jim F. Fixx., The Complete Book of Running

This week’s recommended running read:
The Complete Book of Running – Jim F. Fixx c. 1977
This is considered to be THE Book that really stimulated the running boom of the mid-1970s and although now a bit dated, is still worth looking at. It is quite extensive in the depth of coverage and includes some cool charcoal drawings. Fixx is credited with helping start America’s fitness revolution by popularizing the sport of running and demonstrating its many health benefits. Ironically, he died of a heart attack while running at age 52 but his father died of a heart disease at 43.
