All seems to be going well here. Dave, Jeremy, Rob and I will be running Marine Corps at the end of October. I think we'll tear it up. Jeremy got his first sub 17 this summer for 5k and has continued to roll. Both Rob and Dave are on the comeback from injury this spring, but things are starting to come around for both of them!
Remember to bundle up if it snows! Don't want any frostbite. I'm assuming that school just started for you again and the team is back and you are busy hammering those guys into shape, right?

suckers.
here is camp week
fri aug 15th = 13 miles
sat aug 16th = 21 miles (two runs 14, 7)
sun aug 17th = 18 miles (two runs 12, 6)
mon aug 18th = 13 miles
tues aug 19th = 17 miles (two runs 14, 3)
wed aug 20th = 12 miles
thurs aug 21st = 19 miles (two runs 13, 6)
fri aug 22nd = 1 mile (off day, with warmup for plyos)
sat aug 23rd = 12 miles
sun aug 24th = 12 miles
if you look close you will see 113 miles for the seven days starting aug 15th. it was unbelievable. i know you idiots do this on a regular basis, but camp week was crazy. lots of hard miles (best run was 11 miler on awfully hilly course in 66 minutes). the potential for the season is looking good.
saturday was a team vs. alumni 5k. we had guys run 15:42, 16:08, 16:23 (me), 16:32, 16:33, 16:33 and so on. we wore trainers on our course on a 80-85 degree muggy evening. it was a nice way to end a rather painful week of training.
friday is the first race, but we are supposed to hit 83 miles this week, so it won't really be a good indicator of shape.
i am so happy to see the GBM results. i am glad you guys are reaping the benefits of the ridiculous summer we had, and my personal philosophy when it comes to race choice is that of sheriff woody from toy story: "reach for the sky." as in, go somewhere nasty and get knocked around and likely get a PR. regardless, have fun.
more to come after race #1. being a senior in college is slightly depressing as i still feel like i am 15.----DAN

Dan,
Great Camp.
Next year you'll be on our team and we'll win.

Dan, it sounds like they are getting you ready to run a marathon next fall!
We've already been making plans for you while you've been gone.

dan, that looks like a great training session.
we will be at paul short this year, but I will be wearing a different attire. one that entails a collared shirt and a stop watch.
can't wait to see you man.

this was the first tuesday of the school year and that means workout day.
AM = 30 minute shakeout run/nap
PM = 17 minute warmup, 8k tempo on the course for a preview of our Friday race. supposed to run at 5:20 pace. i wore my black flats that i wore at moonshine and it was another resounding success. i ran 5:20, 5:26 (10:46), 5:21 (16:07), 5:23 (21:30), 5:17 (26:47). it was pretty super and while i was definitely working, it was not an all out effort. i think that friday could bring maybe 30 seconds faster without a whole lot more effort. 3 mile cooldown to finish up.
mcclimon and i ran together for the entirety and he definitely had a lot left in the tank. we had other guys at 27:06, 27:30, 27:35, and 27:40. so, we are looking solid in the middle of another high mileage week. i am excited to see what will continue to develop.
jordan, i will keep my eyes open for you- it will be weird to see you in the coaching capacity, but im sure you will pick it up quickly as you seem to do with everything else. good luck with your own training- what is the latest?
p.s. jaron, please dont feel the need to remind me that this is about as fast as you finished up your 24.5 miler the other week. i am well aware of this fact and have decided that you are out of my league (for the moment). just kidding. i hope the switch to the fall schedule does you guys well and that whatever you get into goes swimmingly.
DAN

Dan,
Glad to hear you are right where you want to be. And thanks for the good luck wishes this fall - I however, hope that is does not go "swimmingly". I'm pretty certain that I will drown if it does. Are you coming in next weekend for your brother's show?
