I went to bed at like 2 AM last night, woke up at 7:30, ate some cereal, drove home, made a smoothie, took a nap at 9, set an alarm at 9:30, woke up at 4:30 PM. I was somehow still tired when I woke up haha. Got dressed and headed to the track with Trevor AKA Tbird Shurtdog AKA T_81RD. 1.5 warmup. Workout was 2 sets of 5x800, first @ current 3200 pace, second set @ goal 2 mile pace. 2 minute rest between repeats on first set, 5 minute rest, 3:30 rest on second set. My stomach still felt like trash. I ran 10:55 for 2 miles back in indoor, so I determined 2:40 was good for the first set. Went 2:31, 2:34, 2:37, 2:40. A bit too quick, with the stomach thing + no running yesterday + just waking up, I decided to do 4 per set instead. S/O to Trevor for leaving after 2 200's at like 31 haha. Second set I was pretty tired for, I just wanted sub 2:30's. Those went 2:24, 2:29, 2:27, 2:25. The last one should have been quicker but I hit like a 32 first 200m lol. Every 400 except the second one of the 2:29 was sub 75 on this set so that was good. For running alone I found these times pretty excellent. Did 4x200's, going 3200 pace and sprinting with 125, 100, 75, and 50m to go. I ran the 800's in my spikes and my calves were shot so I wore my trainers instead. Those went 32, 33, 33, 34. Long barefoot cooldown on the turf. By the end of the workout it was dark outside which was neat.
Team did really well at UVU. Mason ran 4:35, Christian ran 4:39. Mason won his heat in the 1600 and steeple. Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of the two of them. I would very much like to run for Alabama, but how is that supposed to happen if coaches don't take me to fast meets? Ugh. S/O to fellow bloggers Zack, Ryan, Josh, Connor, Asa, and Tyler at UVU, and Sage, Nick, and Garek @ PV.
