Nicole Blood: First Training Run and Jordan Hasay Q&A

Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 8:30 a.m.

Good morning Duck fans! I’ve got so much to write about after yesterday’s workout!

Yesterday afternoon was our first workout together and it was awesome! We ran the majority of the workout in packs of three or four, and the packs switched up as the workout progressed. It was fun encouraging each other and running with different people throughout the workout. I think all of the women enjoyed it, and it was so great have such a positive and motivated group working hard together.

I’ll keep forwarding the training updates as we go along, but how about shifting gears here? Let’s spice up this blog a little and ask Jordan Hasay a few questions, yeah? Thought you all might like that.

So Jordan, are you enjoying yourself up here at Sunriver?
"Oh yes, it’s a wonderful experience.  It’s very relaxing and I’m getting in some great training."
(Alex reading a magazine in the background: Have you heard of the vibrating mascara?)

Ah-hem...back to Jordan. Is there anything interesting you’ve learned about the team?
"Well last night I was the only girl stretching around the boys after the workout. A.J. was telling the men a story about something Kenny said, and they made me cover my ears. So, I guess I’ve learned that the guys are uh...funny."

What are you most looking forward to during the rest of your stay here?
"The meals! And the warmer weather."

Will you be cooking anything for us?
I’m hoping to! I’d like to make a chicken chili. And on Friday I think I’ll make a peach cobbler for our barbeque.

Mmm, sounds good to me! Alright that’s it for today. Go Ducks!
