am: 3 miles easy. i was really sore this morning from lifting yesterday...i think it was from putting too much weight on my squats. oh well it just means i'm getting stronger, but also that i need to stretch better...and ice bathe (which i have done horribly this season)
pm: 8 1000's (total 10mi) warm up i felt a little tired, but fine. it was hot but not as bad as yesterday. splits were: 3:02, 2:56, 2:55, 2:54, 2:46, 2:46, 2:46, 2:45.
my goal time was to get sub three everyone but i was thinking 2:58 or so...first one i went solid just to see how i felt and my watch died with 200 to go so without it i slowed down too much but i was fine with the time. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th; i found a watch and i went very hard just thinking of each one and that worked very well but in the back of my mind i hoped i wasn't going too fast. after this one coach gave a good 5min speech that helped and i got to the line and everyone behind me was going faster so i went faster. last three were hard and everytime i noticed myself getting tired and sluggish i would shorten my stride i felt would instintly feel better.
overall good workout and confidence booster. Coaches birthday! he's 25 or something around there. |
