AM- Michigan w/ 1mile warm/cool....again! This time I was determined to try hard and not give in to myself and give up! I was pretty much on pace until the last 1 and 1/2 I fell off a little bit. The last 400m I tried to push myself. It felt good considering I had run hard the day before. The workout half a day earlier really hit me as soon as I hit the second 800m, so it was hard. I know all I have to do is train myself to push hard, because really I believe in my abilities (heck I tell myself all the time that I have the physicallity to be with mike), but I everytime it comes down to a workout and pushing it I freak out and slow down. So it was nice to not back down. 30 seconds off of A standard...not too bad considering how tired I was, but always room for improvement!
PM- 5 w/ 2x400m. I was hurt today, but I was just like suck it up ya whimp...if pre can run with a bleeding foot and win a race, you can run a 5 miler with a little soreness. Then, we had 400m at I pace and I ran 2 seconds behind mike on the first one and the second one I just stuck with him even when he started to pick up the pace...and the crazy thing was I felt perfectly fine other than I was breathing hard...but everyone breaths hard at I pace. |
