Track Workout #1 - Benchmark

The first track workout was held on Tuesday evening at the Diablo Valley College track.  And as an extra treat, we had a little eye candy compliments of the DVC football team that was practicing on the field inside the track.  But back to the workout.  Because this was the first track workout, we didn't have to do the circuit training, which my body is thankful for.  Instead, we did a benchmark run so we can see how much we improve later in the season.  We had a choice of running 1 or 2 miles, so I ran 2.  I made sure to run a nice, steady 9 minute pace, so I have more room for improvement!  Now I've got 9 weeks of practice to get faster.
