Today I could definitely feel that I am out of shape. We did 2 grass laps around, then did 2 laps on the track so we wouldn't lose our warmup. Then we did a mile speed changes, and already I could feel the out-of-shape part coming into play. My foot felt fine though. Then we were supposed to do 5 1000s, and we had to hit our times on each one to be able to race on friday. I did the first one, my foot was okay, but I felt so out of shape, I was breathing SOOO hard. Then I asked Bill what I was supposed to hit, and it was supposed to be a 3:53, and I hit a 3:56. I only did standing recovery, which I think I should've done a lap. That would've helped out my foot. But honestly, I didn't feel so great, so I didn't do one. Then when I started the 2nd one, it was just sharp pain in my foot, all the way over to the 200 where it started to warm up, but by then I was all the way in the back of the pack and so mentally I told myself that I was in the back of the pack, and it was over. I think that wasn't the best thing to do. I quit on that one, and just walked over, got some water, cheered everyone on as they finished the 1000, then went up to sunnyside to do that workout instead. We did arm-swings and pushups when I got there, and I realized that I haven't been doing them nearly as deep as I should be, and wow my arms are sore...maybe that's why they seem so easy to me... haha. I've never done them right! Then we did a lap, and then went to the track. Maybe I should get my foot checked out by a doctor and see what it REALLY is...:0 Looks like I'm not racing on friday... :( I was kinda hoping I would be better by now so that I COULD race, mostly because I like that course and I did pretty good last year...oh well...:(
