Gina Keidel: AOTW

Gina and Katherine went to the IWA Cross Country Camp and Gina stayed in San Antonio for a triathlon camp. She also spent a good time away at a church camp as well as helped her sister move to college in another state. We started going through the training progressions before she got back. None of this out-of-town traveling kept Gina from training and it has shown in her improvement throughout the summer. Before this summer, Gina's best mile time was not under 7 minutes. On Saturday Gina ran 6:30. She has taken her 4 mile ppm down to 7:40 pace, a time that used to be decent, for her, for 1 mile. Gina has shown that consistency and perseverance pay off. That's why she was named athlete of the week for August 13-19. There is no doubt in this coaches mind she will be a factor on the xc course this year and I know she will be well under 6 minutes for the mile soon. Keep it up Gina!
