Today I had a APHUG study session with Matheson so I couldn't go to Tony's workout up at the track because they both were at the same time. So I went to the study session and then I walked up to the track to start my work out. Since Tomy hadn't texted me back what his work out was, I decided to go ahead and do my own work out. So I started out with a 2 mile cool down and then stretching. Then I started the speed work out. I was originally going to do 12 200's but I did 8 instead because the back of my knee was absolutely killing me, doing the warm up and doing the speed work out it was killing. My knee didn't hurt as much when I ran on my toes which is weird so I did my work out on my toes. So my first 200 was 40 seconds which is slow, then my times went like this 39, 35, 35, 36, 38, 35, 34. For the first four of the 200's I was wearing my spikes so I could go faster and stay on pace a bit better but the spikes were really hurting my knee. So I took off the spikes and ran the last 4 with out my spikes, I ran them just in my trainers. In between the 200's I jogged another 200 so I could get the mileage in so I did 2 miles of that. Then since my mom was here and I needed to go, and my knee was killing me to a point that even walking was hurting it I did my cool down. I started with a mile cool down while listening to my music on my phone:) I decided to do another mile cool down even though my legs are killing me I wanted to get the miles in so I wouldn't have to do as much later today or later in the week. Then I came home and did my weights on the machine, I started the ones where you lay on your stomach and do like leg curls but those were killing the back of my knee, I don't know why so I stopped doing those and moved to the next thing on the machine. Then I did weighted calf raises, holding my knee up for a minute thingy, 3 sets of 15 squats, crunches, no push ups today because of my dislocated right pinky, weighted arm swings, and non weighted arm swings. Then I did my last 3 miles on my elliptical while I was not only studying physics but also AP Human Geography because the AP tests are coming up. Overall today was a very painful day but a very needed day trying to get my speed back. I hope that my back of my knee thing doesn't hurt much longer because I have some very important races coming up and I need to be totally ready with absolutely no pain anywhere.
