For weeks I have been trying to find a better option for Track workouts, my NYC Marathon ramp up starts in 2 week and I have scheduled a few Yasso 800's in the training plan. The problem is that even though I like the St Thomas track, it is a bit out of the way for a Tuesday morning/evening workout. We have been trying to find a nice track on the west side of the cities but most of the time the high school tracks are fenced off and locked and there are no college tracks on this side of the cities. During a moment of inspiration today I decided to call around to several of the local running stores to see if they had any ideas. My phone calls turned up some good information; did you know that in the winter there is a domed track in Plymouth? My second call hit pay dirt; they suggested that I take a look at the track located at the Edina Community Center, just off of Highway 100 and Benton. So this afternoon I decided to stretch my legs a bit and check it out. This is the track and field used by Edina High School, in fact the football team was practicing while of was there but I found a couple very informative signs.
Yea!! A track, a nice track, open to the public, on the west side on the cities, and as a bonus, it is about halfway between my house and Kris's place. So tonight we met at the track for her track work out and it was great!! Kris is not fond of tracks as she gets bored with the round and round, but being a former track athlete it feels like home to me. Now I I could just get them to setup the pole vault.
