byLarry EderThe long run is the last run of the week for some, and for others, the first run of the week. Enjoy the run, do it at a pace that you can tell tale tales, laugh with each other and feel challenged during a few good hill climbs. You have completed sixteen weeks of summer training, and are ready to roll. A few races, and you will be ready to roll. For Summer mileage 2022, see you about June 15!
Good luck in cross country!
