OBLA

Extra credit for anyone who can explain "OBLA" without using google or any other search function!

With our 'return to running' schedule, Tuesday was slated for the day off. However, we will train on Tuesday, then take Wednesday off. There is a chance for rain on Tuesday but temps will be in the 60's. We will be on the cinder loop unless the rain is very heavy. Last week we had two solid aerobic efforts. On the whole, we should be pleased with where we are after the short break. Let's have another good week with two strong aerobic efforts. Again, we are not planning to meet for practice on exam week at this point, but the weekly schedule will be posted here on the blog.
