Speed today. I felt really good for some reason!!! I don't really know why. We did 2 vertical laps, and did some new drills! They were really weird and confusing. We started in a different place and did mini high knees then high knees then jogged and on the way back did other stuff like walking quad stretch, step overs, and so on. Then distance ran up to the track. We did a warm-up outside of the track. It was up Sunnyside to Foothill and along foothill to guardsman I think and back to the track. I was up with the front group during all of this (or at least most) Then we did a mile speed changes. I was a little further back on these. We did 2 sets of 4 300s with 2 laps recovery in between the sets. I was feeling really good :) It was weird because I was in the mode for a lot longer distance when we did them. I think I was still in the 800 mood. So when we started really fast I thought I might crash at any minute, and that we were going too fast. But then on the last 100 meters I realized that we were going at just the right pace. we ran 100 meters to the starting line and started again once everyone was there. I always hit around 60-62 each time, except the last 2 on the 2nd set were 63 and 64. I felt like I did a pretty good job keeping consistent. Every time though I felt like we were going too fast when in reality we weren't. And in all of them it was the last 100 meters that I really had to push. I was normally just behind Abigail, but still a bit in front of Sarah. Abigail would go slow on the small recovery time, and not make it in time to start with the group. I can tell you, it really helped to have Abigail there with the group, because then I didn't feel too far behind from the group. I could also push with her and I had a little more competition. But when she wasn't there, I felt like I was too slow, and I had a harder time pushing myself. I did okay though. I went up Sunnyside with Bill, Natalie, Tomy and Chris to guardsman I think it was and followed that to the next street and came back to the track, and did a grass lap around when I fell from the group. I did a lap on the track, and then just went back to the school to make it 10 miles. The others did a bit more though. |
