Freaking early AC run (I woke up at 4:37 - that's not natural!), it was actually pretty chilly out today! Finally. Ran an extra warmup around the school trying to find an open door so I could use the potty. I finally found a port-o-john by the tennis courts. Run went ok, the running was mostly good, but the knee hated me lots so that was discouraging. 7:37/mi avg. (Alchemy 156.4) "Mile" repeats for today's workout, after all the warmup and stuff (50, 100 - I'm going to stay there for the rest of the season) we ran down to the industrial loop and did the less-than-a-mile loop 4x. I died. They went so:
1- 5:13, feeling good, excited to run mile repeats (heaven only knows why), felt really strong and comfortable. 2- 5:16, well I thought I pushed it harder on this one than #1, but apparently not. It was pretty discouraging. 3- 5:23, ouch. How pathetic am I? I swear I pushed just as hard as #2 and harder than #1, yet I still got a totally lame time. Argh. 4- 5:20, this last one probably would've been slower had I not severely needed a potty break, so I got a longer recovery before doing this one, then did it by myself. Ran back to HS w/ Jac. I'm trying to not let this sucky workout get me down. My knee was pretty lame, esp. at the start of all of the repeats. Overall, I think I pushed really hard on this workout even though the numbers don't really show a great workout. Mark (our HS trainer) said he'd tape my hammy somehow tomorrow to try and make it feel better. We'll see. (DST 208.6)
