So, I had my first track run today with my friend.  She did 4x1000 while I did 6x400 (is that how you describe track workouts?  I'm such a newbie, I don't even know the correct lingo. ha!)  It was fun to try something new even if it was hard. I think she does track workouts on Thursday, so I might go with her from now on.  It's nice because she can go at a faster rate than me, but we're still close enough together that we're not 'alone'.  Running is such a mental challenge as much as it is physical.  My 400's kept getting slower and slower, until I would remind myself that I'm stronger and faster than I think - and then I could pick up the pace again.  So interesting.   Maybe I should see a hypnotist to help me get better at running ... (hee,hee)
