• I wasn’t very talkative at the start of today’s workout… all business at first… maybe I miss wearing my Wooly Vest… but there wasn’t much time to talk once we hit the track
• Lot’s of speed out there today, with young guys in their 20s with full heads of hair and no pre-arthritic conditions moving at a fast clip. Dollywood – aka whiskey tea cup – gets a special call out, primarily because I wanted to incorporate whiskey teacup into the backblast, but also because he has exceptional backpedaling speed… must be all the years of soccer where he’s developed fast twitch fibers that move in any direction.
• Today was the first Indian Run I’ve ever done on a track.  It didn’t really make any sense, but I enjoyed it and hope you did as well.  I particularly enjoy how the Indian Run format gives me a chance to heckle everyone on a rotating basis.
• I don’t think we had any actual Kenyans with us this morning, but I just noticed the book Running With the Kenyans laying around my house the other day… it’s a good book… not a five star rating from Joker, but worth reading for sure
• The rain started to fall right at 6:15AM.  Perfect timing.
• Thanks Yeti for the opportunity to lead this morning.
