Hey, everyone! Just got back from Ship yesterday ,and I thought I would give my review. This camp was a fantastic experience! About 150 kids rolled into the dorms to spend 5 days training in the city of Shippensburg. The first day we all ran on a rail trail, which was basically the Frostburg depot except with cows left and right. Monday was spent on a brutal trail in the mountains. Going out was all downhill, which meant a painful trip back. It was fun though! That night we previewed a two-mile course on campus which we would (attempt to) race Wednesday. Tuesday was a trip to pine grove state forest, Wednesday was our little race (I won't get into that: I felt terrible that day), and Thurseday was long run Day!!
Not only is there some great training, you get good motivation. The staff and counselors answered your questions ,and speakers like Mike Spinnler and this guy everybody called Sarge (He kinda freaked me out a little ;D) gave you great reasons to run like a madman. Plus we watched some documenteries on running greats, so now I am inspired to grow a Prefontain mustache!
Anyway, I'm home now and, aside from being in a state of shock that i was in the same room as Olympians, am back on the roads of Cumberland! See everybody at the depot Monday!
