I decided to hit the track and start getting a feel for my fitness level. I warmed up 2.5 miles and then ran 4 x 200 meter strides. I ran 5x 800 meters with 400 meter jog recovery. I thought I could probably run 5:40 pace since I haven't even hit anything under 6:00 pace in training. I ran 2:46, 2:47, 2:47, 2:46, 2:46. I seem to get stuck in a pace. Not a terrible start to speedwork. I'm thinking I an at least hit a sub 19 on Friday. I would be thrilled to beat last year's time of 18:29 but I don't know if I have had enough training. I cooled down through the neighborhood. I realized halfway through my cooldownthat I forgot my tank top at the track. All the neighbors were eexposed to my belly button. |
