Summer '18 roll call

Time to get the annual summer roll call going on our facebook page .  We're hoping for 100% participation!  It's always great looking through the roll calls of previous summers, so we can't wait to see this year's!

You may receive an email with instructions, but it's simple.  Send a picture of you wearing something Georgia Tech to Coach Megesi.  The idea is to take the pic somewhere and/or doing something that is representative of your summer.  We'll upload the pic to the Georgia Tech Track & Field/Cross Country facebook page.  Include an explanation of the trip so Coach Megesi can include some info with the pic when it gets posted.

38 miles last week. Been waking up at 5:30 to get those miles in cuz Florida is HOT. Gonna have to wake up closer to 5 as mileage increases��

43 miles for the last first week of my GT career! Some really nice trails and a public track by where I live, so I've been making the most of running. Been slowly adjusting to life out here in Portland. Good job to Avery for making it to the semi's at USA's. The road to the Crossplex begins now!

18 miles — had to switch my off days around so they fall on Mondays, so this week is artificially short (my daily mileage is higher this week). Had a few slightly faster-paced runs this week, which was nice. If I did any cross training this week, it was a negligible amount. Just getting my fitness the old-fashioned way for now. Got to make a Ficus this week, which is always fun.

Hailey Gee said...

25 miles for me this week! Starting training for my new job as a veterinary technician tomorrow, so that's pretty fun. If anyone has sick pets come visit me at Cumberland Animal Clinic this summer!!

Bennett Hillier said...

33 miles plus 40 mins of aqua jogging last week. Now that my runs are getting longer I've been going out and finding some sweet new trails to run on around Mount Rainier and along some rivers. The river runs are awesome cause the river serves as my ice bath afterwards, that water be cold!

Alexandra Melehan said...

28mi last week! And 3 hrs of CT. Ran in Houston yesterday when I was visiting my best friend and was shocked to find that Atlanta humidity is nothing compared to Texas... nonetheless, fun to run in a new place!

William White said...

47 miles, 30' swimming and 60' biking for last week. Thanks to @Josh_Williams for a nice long run yesterday

Mike Reilly said...

45 miles and 40 min of biking last week. Retweet to Alexandra, Texas is hot. Went to see Ke$ha Wednesday and was hang gliding in CO on Saturday. Pretty standard week.

Rebecca Entrekin said...

42 miles and an hour of swimming. Anyone else running the Peachtree? (My mom throws a HUGE party after, so if any out-of-state people don't have plans let me know). I'm also taking the MCAT in July so prayers are appreciated. Also, don't forget to not hold your phones while driving! The law starts July 1st.

39 miles. I see MUNNS has a beard now. Wish i could grow one

Frank Pittman said...

15 running from sun-tues. Achilles flaired up so i put in 90 on the bike and 45 on Satan's tricycle wed-fri.Guess you could say my arch nemesis found my Achilles heel. This weekend was totally off bc of a sinus infection.

21 miles the week before

Mary Prouty said...

45 miles, 2 hours of biking, and a 15 mile hike up Sepulcher Mountain in Yellowstone (that was only supposed to be 11 miles - got a bit lost again, oops)! Still no bear encounters to share, but stay tuned.

Matt Munns said...

15 miles last week. Talked with Coach Megesi about treatment for the sore back/neck and have been doing some rolling and icing like she's suggested and it's feeling better. Still need to find a chiropractor or massage. Also @CBowles, it's true. I have a very very patchy beard now, but it's probably on the way out

Tyler whorton said...

40 last week with hour of core

Unknown said...

22 miles last week with core and weights done every other day. Will be starting the fitness guidelines given by Coach Megesi this week so pretty excited and going to be finally hitting some hills and trails.

Haley Unthank said...

21 miles last week! First post of the summer but have been running the last few weeks. Was super excited to run 6 miles on Tuesday morning after finding a new trail near my house. I’m currently in the OBX and getting used to the southern heat and humidity. I’m excited to get in my runs (and some swimming/biking) while I’m here!

Coach Korabik said...

36 miles last week. I am making health my #1 priority this summer so I am working a lot of hip and ankle mobility. I'm back in Chicago and will be for the rest of the summer, so if anyone finds themselves up here let me know and we can meet up to run

Henrik Anderson said...

Did 32 Miles last week for my first week back on. I have been doing most of my runs right before the sunsets to take advantage of the cool whether, or at around 2-3 P.M. Goal for this week is 35 miles. I am at 24 miles for 5 days in.

Harrison Morris said...

36 miles last week. I'm getting most of my runs early in the morning to beat the heat. I'm glad to be building the mileage back up.

Hana Herndon said...

34 miles and an hour of rowing/biking plus core

Unknown said...

32 miles last week. At the beach this week which means 6am wakeup to avoid the heat. Feeling pretty great!

Knox Pittman said...

I guess I've been posting in the blog on the wrong week so I'll just repost that I ran 32 the week of 6/17. I'm driving to Colorado/Utah right now so hip mobility/strengthening will be a big focus for this week after spending so long in the car.

Ellen said...

38 miles! My achilles was hurting last week but now I feel like a million bucks

Kameron Schofield said...

35 Miles last week. Almost 8 hours of basketball. I can actually dunk now!

Gabby said...

Not sure if I'm supposed to post with just cross training but here I am. 11 hrs biking and a lot of core. Tripped while crutching around the grocery store yesterday and dropped some bananas

Hannah Petit said...

36 miles last week! plus about an hour and a half of hiking!

David Reteneller said...

19 miles for the week of 6/10 and 24 for week of 6/17. Mileage slowly on the way up coming from a track season of very low mileage. Strength training going well and I'm feeling good/staying healthy!

13 miles running and 3.5 hours cross training. Had some shin pain the middle of the week, so I took a couple days off to cross train, but it's been feeling great the last few days, especially when running on softer trails.

Mary Claire Solomon said...

No name, but that was me!

Haley Stumvoll said...

4.5 miles on the AlterG at 70%, 3 hours of crosstraining (biking/elliptical/purposeful walking). *Knock on wood* my hip's feeling pretty solid with the increases in the Alterg and the hip exercises

Sam Costa said...

41 miles and 1.5 hours of cycling last week!

Harper Roberts said...

18 miles last week. Got my wisdom teeth taken out, and recovery from that set me back a little bit. Hoping to get back on track again soon.

Liz G said...

sorry for the late post, been kind of a busy week. spent it working, running, and volunteering around ATL. 27 miles last week and 2 hours of cross training.

Corrie Smith said...

Super super late but hi everyone!! I'm still around. I've been cross training maybe 4-5 hours a week with mostly aquajogging and some biking. My fitness is still pretty low, but I only started cross training again about a month ago and I hope to start transitioning into running again soon! MRI next Friday, hopefully it shows me what I wanna see, which is a non-fractured sacrum ���� I've loved seeing everyone's progress in the comments and I can't wait to be back

Isabella Bowland said...

30 miles for me this past week. I tried hot yoga for my XT in order to get used to the heat + humidity in GA, and I don't think I have ever sweat so much! I also went backpacking this weekend and did ~20 mi hiking.
