Pics, Mid week workouts, t's

I added new workout pictures to the web site today.  Tuesday's were fine but with the storm that we had on Wednesdy night I was lucky to get any shots with the rain and the and dark conditions. All and all they're not bad.



This weeks time trial went pretty well with some fine perfomances which bodes well for those training for a fall marathon.  With the rest of the summer to go and some of the best workouts ahead I'm sure there will be much improvement.



I am a bit disappointed by the turnouts by all on Tuesday nights this year. At first I thought it was the bad weather we had early on and that may still be it with people getting used to not doing the Tuesday workout. Now that the weather has gotten better I'm still not seeing much of an improvement in attendance. That's unfortunate because the mid week out is probably the most important one for those looking to improve there running. Many of you have expressed a desire to get faster and I explain that these workouts are important to help you do that but I find that many just don't seem to want to do the work that it takes. The good thing about low attendance is that I can work with people who are interested in doing that work.



For those that did run this week make sure to post your results here and your weekly log for last week here



Got the new t's in and it seems like people like them. Thanks for those that donated to the cause. Like everything else the cost of silk screening has gone up as well.



If you've been following the olympic track trials going on in Eugene then you might know about the Men's 800 meters (1/2 mile , two laps) finals and what a race it was.  Here is a link to a video of it.  The boys from Oregon layed a serious butt whipping on everyone.
