Tuesday's workout started out fairly normal for an early evening in August. Thunderstorms were threatening, but we had a window of opportunity. A good turnout from the group at the Grimsley High School track. Marta, Lori, Andy, Nestor, Mauricio, Crystal and myself. The gate was locked when we showed up, but it was not a deterrent. We jumped the fence.
After a good warm-up, we started mile repeats. After our first mile, we were interupted by a man in uniform. (Well, he had a logo on his shirt.) He asked if he could help us. Andy replied kindly, "No, we're good." He then proceeded to tell us that we were trespassing and needed permission to run at the track. We assured him that we did indeed have permission. Turns out that the permission wasn't forwarded to him, the Athletic Director and he knew nothing about it. He graciously let us finish our workout and coach Marisa said she would follow up.
For the record, my mile times were: 6:58, 7:18, 7:28 & 7:08. Easy to remember because they all ended in 8.
Coming up - loops at Country Park, then long run at Salem Lake.
