I tagged along on Devra's workout today. She had a long run with 20 x 30 seconds on/off in the middle of it. It was a rough day for me. My legs are still feeling a bit dead. I felt alright on the 5.2 miles to the park, but the speed part was really hard. I was pretty discouraged that I didn't seem to be able to keep up with Devra. But, after the workout I realized that she was wearing racing flats, and I was wearing my new klunky trainers. I'm sure that made all the difference! We ran 3.2 miles for the 20 minute part, so we were still moving pretty well.
During the cooldown, I began to energy crash. That was the longest 3 miles ever. I was so dizzy by the time I got home. I definitely need to pay more attention to nutrition and hydration. And, I pray that I never have that feeling should I choose to run a marathon some day.
Some sad news today: My college coach had a double heart attack yesterday. He's out of ICU now, but it was a shock to hear. I loved Coach Shane, and I know that he has influenced all of the women who were BYU athletes. I hope his recovery goes well. |
