Summer Track starts tonight
Summer Track
returns tonight at the Myers Park High School Track. I find it hard for me to believe that a year has passed since I last made some laps around it.
The sprints kick off at 6pm. The mile starts at 6:45. And of
course, I will be in attendance.
Below, I have included the scoop on the events for anyone
that is interested.
Later this month, I will be in Winston Salem for the Ultimate
Runner Competition. In this event,
runners score points based on their times from the 100 through a XC 5k. For
years, I have always wanted to do this competition so I decided this was to be
the year. When the registration opened in April, I was quick to sign up. They only take
just over 100 runners so this event fills up fast.
I am using our local track series as preparation for it. Aside
from the relays and the 50 meters, I plan to run the 100, 200, 400, 800, mile
and 2 mile.
I hold no illusion about my speed. My legs have very few
fast twitch muscles and they certainly don’t “fire” like they did during my younger
days. However, for 100, 200, and 400 I still like running them. I just try to “not”
blow out a hamstring.
Up for a challenge please join me this evening.
Sharing one thought at time,
