Mile-Repeat Monday... Holy beast is all I have to say.  Today my legs felt like the knot fairy had nestled into my leg and got down to business.  I was tight so I thought it might be a bit challenging.  I did 4 intervals each one at a 5:48.  The last one was ridiculously hard.  We only had 1 minute it between each so yeah I kinda wanted to die.

Today we did lactate testing on the treadmill.  I warmed up and then coach had me go for 3 minutes at a 6:05 pace after which they tested my blood for lactate.  We did that 5 times.  Each time I increased speed 10 seconds.  We found that my break was at about 5:45.  Training any faster than that would just lead to failure quicker I guess.  My performance on Monday reflected that so it was interesting.

 After that I went and ran 5.6 miles to make an even 9.  The first mile was horrible after those tests.

Went out to the Olympic Oval and did 400's.  Coach had me go about 82 for the first four, 77 for the next 4 and then 74 for the last 4.  My last one was 71.  I  was getting tired but I felt pretty good :)

First mile I have done in nearly 6 years.  The last time I ran a track mile was my last meet of H.S.  I ran a 5:06 and died.  I was pretty happy with my time today.  I must say that I am not used to moving at those speeds but it was a fun race.

 The track there was made out of wood and it felt like I was going to fall off the inside.  One girl actually did do that during a 400 and slipped.  Fortunately none of us fell.  I can't remember too much of it actually.  We went 8 laps.  Ollie was up ahead and then I caught up to him and we finished at about the same time.  I felt like my esophagus had burned up though.

 It's always easy to say, "I could have gone faster," because we don't remember pain very well when it comes to running.  I don't at least.  I can only think of how cool it was that we were going that fast!  It was a good race though.  PR in the mile.  I think I prefer the longer distances though.
