Team USA Minnesota

I just discovered Team USA Minnesota , a distance training center here in the Twin Cities. The website states “Along with other groups across the country, Team USA Minnesota is a coordinated effort to bring local resources together to dramatically improve post-collegiate American distance running and to develop future Olympians.”

I think it’s exciting to have such an organization here. There are some very talented runners in this group. In fact, the top American male and female runners to finish the Atlanta Peachtree 10K on the 4th of July were from Team USA Minnesota. Last year Team USA Minnesota member Katie McGregor won the women’s TC 10 mile race in 55:11. I’m certainly not going to make anything near that time this October, but it does explain who it is that are the top finishers in the races I’ve been in.

I do have to say it is also amazing to browse through the website and look at the various photos of the athletes. Wow. Muscle tone.
