For this second training session, the group ventured away from the track to experience another part of West Seattle – Jack Block Park. With a fierce wind blowing from the south, everyone was anxious to get the blood moving upon arrival at the park. After a few quick words from the coach, the group took its warm-up run following the road to the end of the park, finishing out at the overlook to Elliot Bay.
After a quick group photo with Seattle in the background, the team was off to run some drills on the shores of the park. Upon completing the high knees and butt kickers, and a final stop at the loo, it was off to run intervals on the path to Alki in two different groups. Lucky for everyone, the wind either went into hiding or was sheltered by the hillside as it was comfortable for running.
All of the team members shared their smiles with others on the path as they passed by and enjoyed watching folks suit up for their early morning dives in the bay. Just as both groups finished up back at the parking lot, the wind decided to whip itself up into a frenzy again. The group ducked in behind the cars to share their stories and for a final stretching of the muscles before heading off to the Farmer’s Market. Next week will bring the beginning of the hills.
