It's such a beautiful day that it's a shame we're running inside! Fortunately, there was hardly anyone at the Oval. It was nice to have the place pretty much to ourselves.
Natalie, Amie, and I met up at 5:30 for some good quality speedwork. During our 1-mile warm-up, we decided to do another pyramid this week (4x200s, 4x400s, then 4 more 200s). After chatting with Coach Bill on Saturday and finding out that he hasn't increased to 800s yet, we're going to hold off until he does.
We started chatting with another girl who showed up for some track work. She was super-fast. Her name is Amy. I think we'll try to see if she's interested in running the WBR. We also saw Tracy C., Tracy A., and Walter a little later. It was great to see everyone!
Overall, I was very pleased with our performance today. We finished our 200s between :33 and :39 seconds. We finished our 400s between 1:21 and 1:28. Speedwork with Natalie always keeps me on my A-game. And I was proud of Amie, coming out for speedwork for the very first time. She was able to hang with Natalie and me, for the most part. Next week, I'm going to take a notepad so I can accurately record the time for each lap. |
