Initially I intended to write something fun for the rest of that sentence but when I wrote Thursday the word association that automatically came to my mind was "Turtle Thursday"
Not Exactly this kind of turtle but...the term "Turtle Thursday" will be recognized by almost everyone i've been running with the past 5 years. Thursdays were always set aside for a recovery day. It would be the day with the least amount of mileage and the girls team came up with the thought of looking forward to that day and naming it after a slow moving animal.
While I don't have a set "Turtle Thursday" anymore in my running schedule I still think the idea is very important! You need to have that day to give yourself a break. While i'm looking at this in regards to running it applies with generally every aspect of life. There needs to be a day of rest (even God knew that! Thats what he did on the 7th day) and a day of recovery. This can help you push hard on the days that you need to.
Moving on,( but not too far from running of course!) This past weekend, like I said before was the Track and Field Indoor Southland Conference. I did not get to go :( But luckily Dennis (a friend from the team) was there and gave me a play by play during both the girls and guys 5k and 3k
During the 5k:
Adam had a conservative start, but worked his way up during the 25 laps and had an amazing last k of the race and came in 2ND PLACE!!!!
This is Adam during his race, I wish I knew where the podium picture was!
My roomie, Lauren, got 2nd in the 5k after leading the whole way and 1st in the 3k!
And the Women's team took 1st Overall!! 4th year in a row!!!
Congratulations Ladies!!
