Time Trial a Success!
What a difference a year makes. We were just trying to get kids to run every day last year at this time. We kept telling them, "You aren't even training. You are just running." I know they thought we were crazy. Fast forward 1 year, and we are training, and they are getting it. Some kids ran a PR for a 2 mile. Some kids ran for 2 miles without walking for the first time. Most kids either ran the 2nd mile faster than the first or were very close to running the 2nd mile as fast as the first mile which is a great sign. Another sign that they are getting there is that within 5-10 minutes after the race they were smiling, laughing, and almost recovered. We are priming the engine and are ready to really race next Friday. We will keep you updated with times, places, and medal winners.
