Ogden Hills

Monday, August 27, 2007: Another new cross country season begins, and it begins as always -- with the Ogden Mills Hills workout.

How long have we been doing this workout? Well, so long that the official name of the park is no longer even Ogden Mills but rather the Staatsburgh State Historic Site.

Some older guys were grumbling that this was a "lame" first workout. But I'm a big believer in tradition, and we have been doing this first workout every year I have been coach -- since 1991, when many of you current runners were in DIAPERS! True story. I've been doing this a LOOOOOOOONG TIME!

Anyway, I love the workout. I get to see the guys many times on the hills. We did 3 sets of 5 under the blazing sun. The attitude was serious. The pace was quick.

GREAT JOB GUYS. A good start to what we are hoping will be a special season for the Running Red Foxes.
