Today we did our normal warmup, then a few of us went to the oval. We did 8 laps warmup, 4 laps speed changes. On the warmup I was already thinking of how terrible this workout was going to be, I was really sore and I was super hungry because I managed to leave over half of my lunch at my house this morning. I must've been losing it this morning because I thought I had forgotten my watch, turns out I did put it in my bag, but thought I brought everything else, and left part of my lunch at home :( Anyway, I did not have a positive mind to begin with. Plus I didn't really have anyone to pace me, Bill was calling times and the only other people doing the speed were Tomy and John, who are both a ton faster than me.
We did a lap and then went to the line, our workout was a mile, 1200, 800, 400, and 4x200s. We were supposed to do the mile at 2 mile pace, then on each of the next ones each lap was supposed to be a second faster. In my mile I started out on pace, then the next lap was a few seconds slower, and then I felt like I was only running it, and probably ended up just quiting on myself. I'm completely ashamed of my times. The mile was 5:54. The 1200 wasn't much better, I can't remember my time. Then on the 800 I felt worse, I almost lost it when I heard my time. 3:03. I was so close to not even finishing the workout at that point. Then Bill yelled at me as I was heading over to the drinking fountain and I knew it would be better if I just finished. My times finally were close to the pace. On the 400 I hit 75, then the 200s went 36, 35, 36, 37. Even though I hit somewhat close to my times on the 2nd half, I am very very mad about my workout. But now I have learned my lesson, I won't leave my lunch at home and I will try to be more positive. |
