[Yesterday: track workout at MSU]<\/p>\n

I had the opportunity to go do some track work last night at the Mike Sanders Track Complex<\/a> over at MSU.<\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to get myself into a real 100 meter race someday, something really timed.\u00a0 This may be a mistake.\u00a0 But I thought I would go down that road a bit and see where it takes me.\u00a0 I have had this idea for a few years that I might want to try it in the Mississippi Senior Games some day.<\/p>\n

So, I had heard about a group track workout that happens over in Starkville and I went on over.\u00a0 I was somewhat confused about where it was happening, so I got there quite a bit late.\u00a0 But I eventually found it.\u00a0 There were 3 other people from the workout group I was looking for.<\/p>\n

The track complex is really nice.\u00a0 In fact, they are having a NCAA multi-team meet there today and tomorrow<\/a>.\u00a0 I did my thing while probably a hundred other people were doing sprints, hurdles, high\/long jump and other activities in preparation for the weekend event.\u00a0 I could tell they knew what they were doing, as opposed to my own attempts!<\/p>\n

I did 3 laps for a warm up then 3 repeats of 30 meters, 3x 50 meters and then 3x 90 meters as fast as I could go.\u00a0 Then I did 4 laps for cool down.\u00a0 Today I’m hobbling around somewhat.\u00a0 But I don’t think I have done any serious damage.<\/p>\n

All of the college athletes were probably wondering what the old, slow, fat guy was doing.\u00a0 But one of the things about athletic endeavours is that you have to get out there and “own” your space and give it a try.<\/p>\n
