Time Trial

Contacted numerous people for a one-mile time trial at the Bear Branch Middle school track. Lots of people seemed interested, but the only person that showed up was Andrea. A few items were stacked against us, such as:

We both ran the day before
I did a lower body workout yesterday
Late start, therefore hot and humid (10am)
Heavy breakfast
No pacer(s)

With all that was against us, we made the best of it. Andrea surprised the hell out of me with a finish time one-minute faster than expected. I myself, was disappointed and thought I could have run at least 30-seconds faster.

Andrea:
2:11, 2:21, 2:14, 2:06
8:54!!!

Bill:
2:21, 2:13, 2:13, 2:04
8:52

We started the session with a 1/4 mile run, 1/4 mile walk, and a few basic stretches. After our one-mile run, we cooled down with a 1/4 mile run, and a 1/4 mile walk.

No push-ups today, but we did an upper body workout a few hours after the run.

Pictures compliments of Andrea's daughter, Taylor. Lot of pictures were taken, but only these 5 made it to the blog...
