Adjective: Fast and energetic in a rather wild and uncontrolled way.
That sums up yesterday and today for me. Tough workout, come home and shine hardwood floors, laundry, kitchen detail. USATF Nebraska Assoc. Board of Directors meeting, Omaha Endurance Group track work, Team Nebraska Road Race Management Committee meeting. Was glad to hit the shucks and have the rare luxury of sleeping through the night. A big nod to Alan Higley for coordinating last night’s efforts in assembling the race packets.
We had 40 people show up at last nights track workout. I was late getting there from our BOD meeting and it warmed my heart to see so many putting their paces to the program. Special thanks to Coach Linda, Coach Kelly Crawford, and Coach John Tully for standing in for me again. John is really blossoming into the role. He has been a good student over the last few years and his understanding of my training principles makes him a natural.
Meet the client (she’s making great strides, literally and figuratively) this morning at 8. Phone call for Linoma Beach Half Marathon planning. Another phone call with the Kansas Relays. Get my own run in. Start prepping for tonight’s hosting of Ni-Bthaska-Ke Trail Run packet pick up from 4-7:00. Write this column (my favorite part of every day), lunch, then off to buy State Park day passes. And still need to meet a very interesting individual for a photo shoot, I’ll be doing a feature story on him soon and you’re going to dig it. More kitchen duty, clean the bathrooms, banking and groceries too. Answers that tired question I used to get, “What Do you do all day?” I’ll sleep well again tonight.
David Adams will be running the Steeplechase tonight at the Stanford Invitational in California. The Olympic Trials “A” Standard is 8:23.10, the “B” Standard is 8:32.00. LIVE on Flotrack at 8:12 p.m. CENTRAL TIME http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/248549-2012-Stanford-Invitational Giddyup Good Mate!
Matt Pohren, Megan Zavorka, and Amanda Lee will all travel to Northwest Missouri State tomorrow, all three will contest the Steeplechase as well. Amanda is our newest Team Nebraska mate and is a Real Studette, a great addition to our ever growing women’s squad. She grew up in Lincoln but has trained in Flagstaff until returning to the Good Life just last week. I’m excited for her, Megan, Michaela vd Westhuizen, and Natalie Como to get their training schedules synched up as we approach the USA Club T&F National Championships this July. Amanda, Megan, Jen Viehrig, Meghan Schneider and Jaque Parker will be our entrants into the Hospital Hill Half Marathon Team Challenge on June 2, catch them if you can! Ah, youth, their future’s so bright they have to wear shades.
