Nick ran a 12:10 for the win in his debut race for 2011 Cross country season. He ran evenly (6:01, 6:09, the second part a slightly harder mile) and put about a minute between himself and second place. The team captured first with a perfect 15-50 score over Berlin. Kingswood apparently had some type of trouble getting to the meet and missed the race. The next race is Thursday 9/22/11.
Training for me this week was 800m repeats, distance run, uphill repeats, and easy run with a game or two all with the HS team. I am ready to race a 5k somewhere... just need the time and a race to run!

Back on the track
After a long hiatus from racing, I finally put on some racing shoes tonight. The first annual Gary Millen Memorial Mile took place at the Kennett High track at halftime of the opening football game (Kennett creamed John Stark) of the season.
My first order of business was to avoid injury. Everything else was just about getting in four laps as best as I could.
When all was said and done, I managed a respectable 5:12 for 3rd place behind Kevin Tilton (new course record -- it was a mile on the track!) at 4:38, and Tim Livingston, at 4:47. I was by myself the whole way but was successful at avoiding injury, so let's see how it goes from here!
