My second Team Camp

Every Labor Day weekend is planned for me until I decide not to associate myself with my running club, which will probably not happen. This was my second planned Labor Day, and I don't think I learned from the last one.

Lessons:
1) Take Friday off work. Traffic is horrendous all afternoon/evening Friday, so either leave in the early morning on Friday, or leave Thursday after work.
2) If you are planning to get anything done (like read a book) Labor Day weekend, forget it. It won't happen. All you will do is drink, socialize, sleep and run, in that order.
3) Make sure people your age are coming! All those old guys can get a little creepy sometimes.
4) Go to the meetings. They made me cross country captain for the women's open team while I was napping.
5) Bring chocolate and/or alcohol. Everyone will love you.

Actually, I'm really excited about number 4. If nothing else, it will keep me from quitting half-way through the season like I did last year.

Morning Weight: 143.5
Miles Today: 8
Other Exercise: None
Total Miles this Week: 58.5
