Will and I made to the indoor track. I tried to use counters. My counters were actually seven pieces of cereal. Will hadn't eat breakfast, so I brought a long a good bit of food. I hadn't realized the cereal would come in so handy.
My counters helped some. I still lost count a couple times, but overall using the counters and my watch were more helpful than just the watch. Here are my mile plus splits (a mile is 6 3/4 laps, I just make it an even seven):
9:01--just tried to get my legs moving. I tried to keep my lap splits to 1:20
8:50--after this mile, I felt like I could push it more.
8:35--got confused on which lap I was on six or seven. I figured it out, but the confusion me slowed down a little on the last lap.
My 3 plus tempo run was 26:26. Like the last tempo run, I felt like there was a lot going on--steering the stroller (it's veering to the right), the counters, and of course making sure Will is doing okay. So, I feel like I felt I left a bit out there. I am glad I put some faster miles in. |
