12/5/06 Group Practice in Central Park

Tonight the entire spring team met in Urban Athletics. We kind of looked like this:

Can you see me in there? And yes, Elvis totally supports Team In Training, he is the King after all.

Tonights practice was running back and forth between 97th street and 87th street. Not much to it, right? Well, not exactly. We did this "lamp post on and lamp post off" thing. When we were "on" we were to exagerate the swing of our arms. Shoulders loose, elbows at 90 degrees, hands and wrists loose, and then swing baby, swing! Ok, there was a bit more to it than that, but you had to be there.

Not a bad start to the season. It was cold. And dark. Fortunately there were plenty of other brave runners out there so I didn't get scared. Cause there are monsters in Central Park, lots of them like this one:
