Today was a speed workout. We did our normal warmup, then mile warmup and mile speed changes. Then we did a 1000, I was supposed to hit 3:15, but I hit 3:37. Then we did 5x500s. The first one felt great, then the 2nd one wasn't as great, and then I just crashed mentally. There's really no excuse for it, I've decided excuses are lame. I just mentally didn't want to do it. Plus I had a lot of crap on my mind, I was stressed about school and certain people weren't helping one bit. It wasn't necassarily that the speed was incredibly difficult, it was my attitude towards it. I think if there wasn't so much stuff going on at the track and it wasn't so windy. Whenever the 300s people started after our first 200 it was hard on me to see people who are normally slower than me in front, the wind was really hard, and so that was where I would crash a lot. I really wish I had just mentally sucked it up and just gotten it over with. I think of my good speed workouts and just wish today was one of them. Today was NOT a good day for me. I don't like mondays. My times went something like 1:35, 1:38, 1:45, 1:45, and didn't catch the last one. Then we did a lap and I thought we were done because I didn't hear anything else about the workout. All I cought was a 1000 and 5x500s. No, we had to do another 1000. I was so mad at certain people, I didn't want to do the speed, and I just was not in the mood for a surprise 1000. I started out pretty fast out of anger, then crashed and practically jogged the rest of it. 4:17 I think. I'm ashamed of myself for breaking down so much. I did 3.25 cool down, the .25 I figure makes up for the little bit of recovery I didn't do. Apparently they did 200s too, I once again had no idea about it. I felt like such an outcast. I will step up my game for the rest of the week though, I do not enjoy feeling like this. |
