What's New:
1. I joined the Runner's Roost racing team
2. I started a coed soccer team called Two Left Feet. We just finished the regular season undefeated. Our last game was a squeaker as a late goal put us ahead 6-5 after being down 4-1 at half. Games are once a week on Wednesday. I must say my soccer skills have deteriorated quite noticeably ever since I started running seriously but my regression since high school is quite significant. In running unlike many team sports there is very little body contact with your competitors. Not entirely sure if running is the culprit or I'm just a complete wuss but aggressive body contact is not my strength. My strength used to be foot skills in tight areas but that aspect of my game is non existent as well.
3. Started a run club named after the fabled Calorie Burning Club founded by James and Jake.
We meet Sunday mornings for long run. This will be week 3. Last week we had 10 runners and pace was very honest.
4. Kalen started a run club for the CU med students and asked me to help out. Med students are busy people, yesterday we had our biggest turnout, 5 people.
5. Training has been all over the map. I'm in decent shape but not consistent with my daily runs and workouts. I raced a few times. The Metro Fit Beat mile where I finished 4th in like 4:42 I think. I also ran a 5k in 17:3? but wasn't pushing that hard. Ran the Denver Marathon Relay 4.1 mile leg and ran 22:02 (15:58 through 3), the last mile was a treacherous uphill battle and I only managed 5:47 for that mile. My team won the relay in like 2:32.
