In it to win it

We're in it to win it folks, all I can say is that progress is being made every week. Seems every run we do is more challenging than the last. It's amazing how you can vary your workouts to make every run a new run. Challenge your muscles and your mind by creating new ways to increase your endurance.
Last week was another beach run over 5 miles. Another beautiful day for running and very hard on the muscles, yet soft on the joints. The beach runs take so much more muscle for you to be light on your feet and keep your speed.
Today we ran at Chabot college on the track doing a conditioning like exercise that is about 5 miles long, it consists of a run sprint technique used in most track conditioning programs. We were able to do the 5 miles in 38-39 minutes, amazing!
Another note, Anthony (Nicks brother) has signed up for Tough Mudders and has joined us the last few Saturdays. The Salazar genes are fast, super fast. Nickname TBD
These guys are like Seabiscuit, every time I start to run ahead of them they run right past me.
Keep up the good work folks.
Also, the Mission Peak Challenge in only 34 days away!! Barely a month left.
