Divisions

Today's practice was a set of strength exercises followed by a simple 8 mile run. As we were setting out, Richard (the only captain present for the men's team) started heading south, but most of the other guys broke off and headed north instead. There was a brief mid-stride argument before it became apparent that the rest of the team simply didn't want to run that direction. I chose to be the loyal follower, however, and went south with Richard. We only went out 3 miles instead of 4 in case his knee bothered him, but it didn't so we finished the last 2 miles on the course back at CUW. The run was pretty slow; I had little energy and was unable to push the pace at all. The weather was absolutely beautiful, however: 65 degrees, sunny, no wind, trees with bright yellow and orange leaves...perfect fall afternoon. Tomorrow is fartleks on the road. No meet this weekend. Using the week off to train that monster.
