AM: Michigan. Wasn't feeling my best this morning.. and I let it show during the Michigan. Ran a minute slower than my last time. I don't really know what was wrong, other than I was feeling icky and my metal toughness was not present at the time. I was struggling to hang on through the 1 1/2 mile part, and then we got to the gate to go onto the track and I got cut off.. and with the pace change, I just lost it. I forget how horribly difficult it is to push when I don't have Stoner next to me! I picked it up a little on the last few laps of the second 1 1/2 section.. enough to still hit A standard and such. Not super happy about the workout, but I'm letting it go.
PM: Easy 3 (but not easy 3 pace, thank heavens)! We ran over to 2450 to do a barefoot run. Michael and Abel took forever to get through the gate, so we were far behind the rest of the crew. And then, Michael and Byron led us astray, so we ran farther than we were supposed to. This is what I mean about the need to send all boys to Mars. Anyway, it was a dandy run. Felt way nice to just have an easy 3 after school.. I was looking forward to it all day. (: |
