Alumni's Time

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 2:01am (April 21st, 2009)
I had a great 4500 meter practice today! I did a workout left over from the EMU practice, written by Assistant Coach Sarah Volpe who is in charge of the afternoon practices. I did the entire workout alone. During my practice, my friend Summer Allman began diving after I helped her move the lane lines over. Afterward, an Alumni Ryan Fulkerson started doing dryland training on the deck. I had to reflect for a moment at the self motivation we all shared. Not one of us was required to be there. Yet here we were, all working hard, partaking in a self administered workout with nobody pushing us but ourselves. It was inspirational.

I've been considering swimming in two USAS meets at EMU during May. Both meets are Long Course Meters. It will be a good warmup for the other LCM meets I plan on swimming this summer.
