Toughest day I've had in a long time. Warmup, during which everyone but Mason and I stopped a lap early, insisting they'd gone four already. They hadn't. Last 200 Mason and I raced because we're idiots, got probably 29. Workout was 90-60-30 and 4x400. Mason Christian and I decided to go as hard as possible on the 90 seconds, but the 4x400 had a seperate practice so they had to leave. Coach said go and I was off. There was bad wind on the backstretch, which sucked because I had to run against it twice and with it once. Coach got really excited when I hit my 400 in 60. Backstretch again, and my legs were hurting. I was running alone in the wind so I wasn't as motivated, which sucks because I was 15-20m off hitting 600m in 90 seconds! Ugh. The 600 killed me for the rest of the workout, I was about 30m off 400m in 60 seconds and probably 20m off 200m in 30 seconds. I was alone for those too. 400's I ran the first one with the team, it was pace for half, kick the rest. I went quick and hit 33 then finished at 64. Next one I ran alone because everyone else walked a 400 and I wanted less rest for a better workout, so all the other ones were alone. 68, 72, 68. I couldn't kick during that 72, hit two 36's which is goal 3200 pace so pretty good. I did an extra one, 69. Three mile cooldown, I know I went hard today because 8 minute pace was killing my quads. Good day. Ice bath and core tonight. Got a small cherry slurpee and some snap peas because I earned it.
