My Miles

PM-5x3min repeats.  I tried to stick with Taylor, but I ended up being about 20 yards behind her on the first one, and it went downhill from there.  I managed to stay ahead of Sally for the rest of them, and I was able to finish strong.  No AM this morning...still trying to get rid of this nasty cold/cough.  I will be there on Wednesday!

I am not really sure of my time, except that it was in the 18s.  This was a really hard race (can you call it that?) for me.  I had had a crappy cough all day at school and I was already really tired from the workout yesterday.  However, I was able to work on the small steps of a race, such as thinking that I can just get to that sign, as opposed to surviving the whole thing.  Mentally, it was okay, physically, not so much.

AM-3 miles. I wish that it would rain like that more often. Of course, if it did, I wouldn't appreciate it so much.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I was able just to loosen up and relax.

PM-5.5 miles with fartleks.  I am not so sure who came up with the name, but in any case, by the second repeat, my legs had loosened up and I was able to push myself.  I forgot my watch, so no splits.  Again with the rain!  So very wonderful!

AM-2 miles.  No one showed up to go early, so I ended up only going 2 to make it to Trilogy on time.  It was a nice run,  and on the way back I realized that I love to run by myself.

PM-3 miles with striders.  It was so very humid today.  I ran with Sally up to the Green Springs clubhouse.  We started back with the varsity girls, and made it our goal to keep up with them until the freeway overpass.  It worked, and pushed me just hard enough to make me feel like I had accomplished something!

AM-3 miles.  Lovely run! 

PM-3.5 miles w/ 4x200.  My legs are pretty much dead.  My head was okay during this, but not great.  I was able to stay steady, but slow.:(  Nervous for tomorrow!

I was really happy with this race...mentally it was good, and this report would have been a lot better if I had done it on Saturday.  I started out slower this time, so I would push myself at the end.  I was able to push myself, but too late.  Note to self...start out faster.
