First off this should have appeared in today’s column instead of yesterday’s:
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!
And a correction that the standards listed are the IOC Standards, not the USA Olympic Trials standards. David’s goal is to run 8:30 or better tonight and then follow up with an 8:23 in the next few weeks.
A lot to do before heading down to Platte River State Park this afternoon, so just some quick stuff today. We had 75 people come by the house for yesterday’s packet pick up. I’ll bet my neighbors will be glad when I’m finally out of here.
We had a record turnout for this morning’s Geezer Run, so named for our elder statesman Denny Gray. An easy day for me spent with a half a dozen moms pushing strollers, and another half dozen similarly minded for an leisurely jog through the dojo. My favorite morning of the week.
What a beautiful day for a run and tomorrow promises more of the same. Good Clean Living! Looking forward to seeing you all at the Trail Run tomorrow, we’ll post a link to results and photos via the wi-fi magic.
