I'm pretty frustrated with lots of stuff. Oh and at practice, Hefner and that new coach decided we only needed lane 8 for our flying forties, which we usually use 3-4 lanes for. Then I did 1.5 to cooldown by myself. I'm kind of tired but I think I'm going to go do some more in the gully to give myself time to think about stuff and relax a little, and get ready for another day. Just 2.5 more in the gully, would've done more but there was construction and the path I wanted to run was blocked off for construction...in the gully... I need to decide whether or not to race by practice tomorrow

Glad to see you are doing flying forties.

Relax...don't get stressed. It shouldn't matter if you are using only lane 8 or all 8 lanes. Just have fun doing them. The important thing in doing them is to make sure you do them at 100% effort. Give everything you have. Then make sure to have a complete recovery after each one. Probably 3 to 4 minutes. This is one of the things I was going to advise you do to improve your speed. You can vary the distances from 30 m to 100m so you don't get bored at the distance.

Don't forget HAVE FUN!!!!

Yeah, I need to relax and have more fun, I was just really annoyed that the sprinters got 7 lanes and we only got 1 and they weren't even using all of theirs. We did a flying 40 every two laps so it was about 4 minutes rest. I'm definitely feeling pretty sore after those!
