by Larry EderThis is the first day of the week, and you have a few weeks before the Junior nationals, and Foot Locker. Enjoy the training as the weather changes. Just a quick note, I used this type of training as i built up for out door track for several years, racing on the boards a few times. Your cross country strength will help you in the springtime. And remember, we will take two weeks real easy around the Christmas holiday.
