The importance of warm up

I’ve been watching Penn relays again today for about 8 hours now.  I have resisted going out for my run because I keep getting caught up in another race.   Now I have to wait to watch the high school competitions that occur between 5:30 and 6:20.

Now today has been a raw, rainy day in at Franklin Field and in Jackson.  In the course of the Flotrack broadcast the commentators were mentioning how cold it was and how smart athletes need to be about their warm-up and how difficult it is at the Penn relays. It’s always amazing to me how young athletes resist the idea of wearing sweatpants during warm-up.  I could blog endlessly on this topic , but instead I have decided to vlog.  VLOG is a new word I just learned from my daughter, Kristen.  It is a video blog.  If I get it to work you will find below a vlog directed by Arlene and made by me.

We made the video and tried upload it. However my WordPress site tells me that it is too too big to place on this site, there is a limit of 64 something megabytes something. So we will have to do some adjustments and see if we can get it back up. I thought it was pretty good and that people might enjoy it .  We  will see. Right now I am off to do my workout before it gets too dark.
