I ran a fast 2000 on the track today. First I ran 3 easy miles with Dad and JoJo in the morning in 24:08. Then I ran the 2000 with JoJo and Benjamin. The first lap was 78. Good, a little fast though. Target pace was 6:40. In the second lap we ran 79. Then I started struggling. My heart was hurting, kind of a stabbing pain. It wasn't actually too bad, but it made me freak out. We ran 82 in the third lap. At about 1300, I really started to panic, and slowed down to about 90 seconds per lap. JoJo was a bit behind but he caught up. Benjamin and JoJo pulled away from me. I ran 91 for the 4th lap and then 88 for the last lap. I ended up with 6:58. JoJo and Benjamin ran 6:46 I think. Part of the problem is probably my nervous system. I think the heart pain will go away soon. |
