Well I don't think sub 10 minutes for a 3200 would happen if I ran a 3200m race this week, maybe 10:20, but in 10 weeks I think I will be ready. Next week at the oval I am planning to pull a triple of the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m. I also will try to get in an aerobic run on saturday and few extra miles on friday. My goals are 3200m - 10:26, 1600m - 4:38, 800m - 2:05. These are times I will be happy with but I feel like I can do better, I might not hit them all but I think they are realistic. This will be the last meet for 5 or 6 weeks so I plan to leave everything I have out on the track, if I have a bad weekend, I will still be able to say this indoor preperation season was well spent. But I will do everything I can to make sure it is a good one. Today for my workout I did 5 600s with the rest of the team, it was at our goal 3200m pace so they weren't really fast but the last 2 hurt a little at the end, I ran 1:53, 1:51, 1:51, 1:47, 1:46. I was going a little bit faster than my goal of 1:53 for 2 and 3 and a little bit faster for 4 and 5 but I just felt like I really wanted to go faster. I felt like I needed to and Coach Murphy seemed fine with it, for the overall 3000 it was 9:08, which translates to a 9:45 3200m. The cooldown plus the 200m of jogging we did all together inbetween the reps came out to 1.25. Good workout. Tomorrow is mileage! I will have to decide between resting my ankle in the morning or doing a 4 mile run.
