RAW #244 - Kingbury Hill (Pease Park)

TONIGHT - We're going to do the Redbud Relays, a new workout orchestrated by Scotty and Eric.The workout START POINT is going to be at Pease Park (where the splash pad is). This is about a 2 mile warm up and a 2 mile cooldown. If you are uncomfortable with that length of a warmup/cooldown, please, by all means, drive to Pease Park and do a warm up there and a cooldown there. You can always drive post workout and meet us back in the bar.AFTER THE WORKOUTDeep Eddy/Pool Burger/Thundercloud (if you get Thundercloud you must eat it upstairs!)Next WeekTBD RAW AT THE RACESSean Clancy tore it up in Kerville, as did Stewart Mickler (3rd in his AG), and a few other RAW superstars. Great work out there!Sarah Lancaster and Mike Kurvach went up to Washington D.C. to run a road mile and they both turned in excellent performances. Sarah was 4th in the women's elite/pro field in 4.46, just a few seconds behind some top notch U.S. talent and beating a lot of pros along the way. Mike Kurvach ran 4.21, only 4 seconds behind 2x Olympic Medialist Nick Willis and sub4 minute miler Brandon Hudgins. Pretty cool stuff Mike! Great work all!
