” Cross country can be a cure for adolescence.”           Coach John O’Malley

This morning I met my nephew-in-law, Kevin, for a sunny 3.47 miles on the cinder track.  It was a treat to have company.  Although the temperature was colder than yesterday, it was sunny and clear. So, it didn’t seem as raw or bitter as yesterday.  I was still pretty layered up and my legs heavy after yesterday’s 4 1/2 Mile workout. Kevin and I did a few 100-meter speed segments along the way,  but I was definitely ready to stop at  about 40 minutes.
