Odd but I loved today's workout. All day I was dragging, really tired and not looking forward to a hard workout. We ran to the track and ran 2 miles warm up. Coach didn't tell us the whole workout but told us as we went. We wore out spikes and ran 1 400 on the grass (a 75). Then we got 10 minutes rest before running an all out mile on the track in our flats. When I heard that, my stomach dropped and I was having a lot of flashbacks of racing the mile on this track.... not the most pleasant thing. But it is super cool now be on the same team as my competitors. I ran a couple laps and did speed changes until we started. Our first lap was 73. The second lap I felt like we slowed down but I was stuck behind the leaders. One girl broke out and sped up. 800 was 2:29. I am not sure what the third lap was, but at the 300 I moved out wide to kick and finish. I was 3rd and ran a 4:59. It is crazy to think what I spent weeks trying to break I can now run in a workout. Then we finished with 7 400's on the grass at 76. I felt so good on these and ran 75-76. Then I ran 5 miles cool down before weights and a 10 minute ice bath after. I loved today's workout because I pushed hard and it felt good to push hard. It was also very similar to what I ran in high school and that was way nice. |
