Serious danger of not making mileage this week...
Initally had 2 meetings this afternoon and did not think I was going to make practice. Boss was sick so #1 cancelled and the second mtg was at a bar, and since I do not imbibe and spend most of my day trying to get folks off the stuff, really did not feel like going to watch my coworkers gte sloshed...
SO, went to practice. Sprinter girl returned (we did NOT scare her off, whcih makes me question her sanity...), but since there are no sprint coaches coaching and no other girls, i felt a need to work out with her again to keep her company. Guys went out for a traditional 20 minute tempo...sigh...
So "warmed up" by jogging 800m, then did a series of 150m striders with 50 m walk recovery x 8 (so about a mile) and then cooled down for a lap. Went inside to await the return of the tempo-ers and showed sprint girl lunge matrix and myrtle. While the guys showed sprint girl some core work (she in turn gave them dating advice--they are so socially awkward!!), I hoped on the dreadmill. Already feeling like a hamster, I was able to monitor the guys lifting, but felt very awkward as there football/basketball and wrestling were all sharing our gym time.
Attempted to do a bijillion mile progression run, but only made through 20 minutes before one of the runner's mom's stopped by to "talk". Can't talk and run treadmil at the same time ( I fall off...), so had to abandon workout.
Really concerned about my mileage for the week, so will have to run mega miles fri and sat just to break even...On a good note, i am delightfully sore from yesterday's circuit training!! YAY! |
