Two for tuesday

It was wet and windy but two of the south bay runners (Janet and Marisa) loaded up and braved the weather last night. The mode of transportation this week was the SBVW. We had a great drive chatting about our running, trips coming up and our health, amoung other things. We were relieved to make it safely to practice and back, admittly getting nervous as we passed the scence of an accident we saw last week off of page mill. And even better we made great time with a short meeting at the beginning of workout and an efficient transition at the track, I got home 2 min before 9pm, a record I think!

Enough of the drive what about the workout? The workout was 800 repeats with 1 lap recovery jog. Janet sped along in the first group hitting her desired times, while I chased the second group also pleasantly hitting my splits. We had Julie J as a guest timer this week helping Tony C keep track of our intervals. It was wet and windy but the impalas proved again that nothing can get in the way of a tuesday night workout!

Hope this message finds you all dry and warm on this gloomy Wednesday morning.

A Wet Start to the New Year

Rain has never stopped any Impala practice and tonight was no exception. The workout was 4 miles of 400 in's and out's. "In's and out's of what," you ask? OF PUDDLES!! It was the wettest Impala workout in the SBV's history. Despite dry weather in the south bay, Kezar's calling was too strong and we spent the 30+ miles of traffic and increasingly wet weather catching up on the last few months...the topic revolved mostly on the the rigor's medical school "matching" and, apparently, the one city in the US where you cannot find a latte, but where the amenities at the local monthly rate hotel includes the parking lot which doubles as their 350m running track: Gloucester City, New Jersey.

After getting thoroughly soaked we dragged our soggy bottoms back to Mary's Mazda, jacked the heat up to 80 and talked about everything from cars, bling, LDRs (long-distance relationships), and healthcare.

Good to have the SBV back in gear. Who's in next week?
