Run in the park.

Sunday morning turned out to be a great fall morning for a run, and the newest member of the TARGETRAINING family, Brett Jones (pictured to the left) took full advantage by competing in his first road race. The New York Marathon Kickoff, a 5 mile race in central park, sponsored by Poland Spring, had a field of 6472 racers. Brett finished the race in the top 8% of all racers in the field! Congratulations Brett on a great start to your racing career. Expect many more races to come for him, and if you haven't met Brett then please stop by the Strength & Conditioning facility introduce yourself and welcome him to the TT family.














I also decided that it would be a good day to run and entered into the Children's Place 5k in Milford. The race course was great, and even though my legs were still sore going in I started the race well. After getting dropped by the lead pack I settled into my own pack not to far of the pace. This is where I must appologize to those who were following me. What happened next is
what some people around TT call "pulling a Max" in rememberance of the wrong turn that Max took in the Minute Man race while trying to chase down the leader. Well i proceeded to miss the next turn in the course by nobodys fault but my own, and to make the story short it certainly was a great day to run, so great that I decided to lead a group on what would turn out to be closer to a 3.75 Mile run instead of the 5K. All in all it was a good race, and I returned home to relax and watch Dom in the Xterra World Championships on Xterra TV.
