Today was a hard workout- threshold run- and I didn't really know what to expect so I was pretty nervous. We ran 2 miles easy warm up then ran the threshold along the rail trail. Starting out, we were all in a big group and I felt really crowded in. But I reminded myself to be patient and push the whole time, not just do what the group does. My first mile was 6:09 and I decided to push and match the second mile. My second mile was 6:09 and I was feeling pretty good. I was moving up as the group started spreading out. My third mile was 6:00 and we finished at 3.7 miles (supposedly it was only 2.5.....) My final time was 22:30 and I finished the workout close behind the lead girls. I didn't feel too bad and felt good that I knew I pushed my best. I ran a cool down to get to 8 and iced my legs for 10 minutes. Later I ran another 5 miles with another group. |
