Another run by myself. I woke up at 7:30 with a sore throat. I got a Ricola cough drop, concerning which I'm pretty sure the general concensus is that you should never eat them unless you're on death's door and all the stores within a 100 mile radius have run out of the Halls brand. Neither of those scenarios applied to my situation this morning, but my mom made me take one anyway. Anywho, everyone had 5 miles this morning, except the 1600 level three guys and for some reason, the 800 girls, who had 5-6. I just went 5 anyway. I took my dad's phone so I could track my pace for the tempo, but there were two very large problems with this: 1. The touch screen only responds to skin touching it, not a glove, so I had to keep one thumb out of its glove the whole time, until it got too cold, and then I started just smacking it into my nose so it wouldn't go dark and lock. 2. The GPS on my dad's phone is even worse than he watch we used on wednesday when it comes to pacing, and the times were ALL OVER the place. It would go from 5:30 pace to 9:00 pace in two seconds. Once it even went from 6:20 pace to 11:15 pace with no numbers in between. So it wasnt much help. But I think I was probably pretty close. I started to have breathing problems and my calves were tightening up by the end of the tempo. So I stretched and I might even stoop so low as to take another cough drop before the day date. |
