A Different Kind of Running Day

Today was a full day off from running, but I still spent the entire morning on a really long training run. What? I served as the rolling water/supply wagon for the Galloway program's last long training run for Freescale. It was actually sort of fun to cheer them on as they slogged through the biting cold wind all morning. They ran a course that included the last 15 miles of the Freescale course, plus some other miles to bulk it up to 22 miles plus. At any rate, it felt pretty good to help those folks out that way, on a tough weather day. It was probably colder for me standing around than it was for them while they were running, but they still were very impressive finishing off their last hard workout before Freescale. No matter what training program you're using, you're done with the tough stuff by now, and you can sort of feel that energy around the hike and bike trail. Pretty cool. I registered for Freescale today, too, finally.
