200m-February

[Sandy]

Anyone?

[Jon]

I was actually wondering about this.  Did anyone do the 100m in January?  It doesn't seem right doing them on the TM, but I didn't make it to the track in January.  I will do both 100 & 200 in Feb though.  I thinks its a tough crowd to get doing sprints...I get the feeling most people on the board would rather run long and easy than do a sprint.  100m hardly seems "worth it", but the truth is, sprints hurt, and at least for me, it will probably greatly expose a lack of speed  and make me want to 

Cheers.

True enough but it's time for those who like to run long to step out of their box.....it's ONE repeat and can be done as part of a longer run.

Hummm ... my daughter's specialty yet here I am trying to transform her into a long distance runner (which she is accomplishing quite well).

On the short and fast note though, maybe if the MA Sills track is clear, she'd be keen to race me!

Wow, the coach has spoken (or should I say demanded  ) 100m and 200m coming up! Out of my way box!

[Sandy]

Remember it's not about the speed, it's about the experience.

[Kate]

Hmmmmm ... Wonder how my daughter would feel if I beat her in the 100m.  She juggles 1st/2nd place for her age group in regionals.
Now THERE's a challenge .. for me!!

I stepped out of my box today and completed the Jan & Feb challenge at MAS track!! Fun...NO but successful...YES!! My head knows the benefits of speed work and those extra pounds that keep creeping back on should be motivation enough but track work is hard stuff. I might need someone to chase me for the March & April challenge!!

IF I figured out the track markings properly these are my results:

100m 24:45sec
200m 54:12sec

Hopefully this will motivate me to keep challenging myself.
