I’m sorry I missed that Brian. Hopefully someone snapped a picture. We had sick ones at home but we truly missed the run. It has done wonders for me with the regular WODs. Can’t wait to see what more time will bring.

Little breakthrough tonight for me on form. On my fourth run to tonight, was getting a little gassed and with 200 m left I concentrated on my form and pushed thru the wall to get thru to meet my time. Guess the drills kicked in. The light bulb was flickering a little bit for me.
But loving the 400 m runs and can’t question the results for me. Thanks CFE.

Working evenings again…I will say that it is much nicer at 8:00 in the morning on a trail in the shade than in the 100 degree heat behind the Box in the sun!

I showed up to coach the 9 at East yesterday but we had no takers! If you guys have not been over to East yet, go check it out. New equipment, lots of space, nice breeze going through the gym!
So, with no 9AM to coach I decided to do last weeks 400MTT, 4x400M with 1:00 rest @ 75%. Its no surprise that I am running for two now…. I just keep getting slower and slower! For all you guys out there who have been chasing my times…. now is your time, enjoy it!

Good job guys. Missed it again. Bronchitis has hit the Taylor household. We’re very anxious to get back next week.

Had a great morning at the 10am yesterday! I wasn’t able to establish an 800 TT last week, so used my first run as a TT–3:43, a :13 PR! My pace goal was 4:20. Next two runs were 4:07 and 4:30. So, my goal is split consistency on long interval days. I seem to fall apart on the successive runs. Working on it, though, and definitely feel like I’m beginning to make progress! Thank you, coaches!
