Day 19 of 30

We are nearly two thirds of the way through this session. Some of us are effecting a significant change in our fitness. Toady's workout demonstrated that. There were more than a few studs & studette's who appeared this morning. Knowing the special quality of the crowd (race team), we made an addition to our normal routine.

Thursday has been Jazzercise day on average this year. We line up the boys and the girls separately. One group runs 120 meters down and back while the other group cranks out various upper body exercises with hand weight. When the runners reappear from the dark, the groups switch. We listen to music and talk while we work. This workout usually fairly easy.

Twice during the workout, we walked off the yard and on to the track. We then lined up. Universally, no matter where on earth you go, a quarter mile oval has a start/finish line. One of the most common units of timed distance in a track workout is one lap. "The Quarter" is a distance we can run nearly flat out. As we cruised through the finish, we could hear a number being called out. That is a number we carry around with us as a reminder of how fast we run.

3 miles, 500 reps, 2 hard quarters (71, 69.9)
