Today we did a 2 mile warm up and then 12 200s. We did 3 sets of 4 200s, with 5 mins rest in between each set and 30 seconds of rest between each 200. For the first set of 200s, the goal was 32, then 30, then 28. I'd say my average was 31 and I only did a sub 30 for 1 of the 200s, I think it will help with the last 800 if I can actually push myself for the last 800, I'm starting to get really pissed at myself, i can't believe how little I've improved this season. Im getting angry, I just need to use the anger in the races. I need to pissed at races. Thats how I was successful in football but I've always thought cross country was different. I just need to use my motivation and energy more conservitavly in cross country than in football. I also need to get more sleep so I don't burn out during the week. I haven't really felt great about many workouts this year, I can remember 1 or 2 that I've been happy with. And my races have all been terrible, I'm not going to run anyone else's race on friday. I'm not going to run outrageously ambitous but I'm going to get out a lot faster than I have been, I need to kill the 2nd mile, I need to stay strong in the 2nd and then finish with a great 3rd. If I'm going to do this sport I'm not going to settle for sub-par I'm going to do the best I can, and I'm better than this. I really need to push through the walls and fight through it when I get tired.
