Anaerobic threshold today. Ran during seventh period by myself so I could come home and hang out with my Australian family. I ran a 2 lap warm-up and then headed out to dogpound (4mi). The three middle miles were the threshold miles. Running it by myself was different because I had no one to keep my sights on. It was pretty windy today, I generally love running in the wind because I don't focus as much on myself and I feel a bit more free. The wind didn't bother me until I turned right at the dogpound, then it got a little hard to run against. Mid-way up the first hill there was a massive onslaught of wind and I felt like I was inching my way slowly up the hill. It eased up a little on the second hill but it was still pretty windy. My time was 18:19, 4 seconds slower than the first time I ran this. I jogged back up to school and went on a cool down, 2 miles on middle school run. Overall I felt pretty good today except for leg soreness. |
