GREAT Work Out There!

There was a lot of great work by our platoons last Tuesday. Despite the heat and humidity, the groups worked extra hard to get in their mileage and meet the training goals for the week. This week proves to be another hot summer week in central Illinois. Make sure you are pacing yourselves, drinking extra fluids, and stopping for a rest when needed. You should plan to slow down 1 to 1-1/2 minutes per mile when it is extra hot out. If the heat index is over 100 tomorrow night, we may cut down on the length of some runs. But don't give up--we don't know yet what the weather will be on August 20th--so train for all types of weather!

Thanks for special help from our supply sergeant--Duane Wilson. We couldn't have made it without the deliveries of water and Gatorade!

Run with us!
