met at liberty, thinking it was going to be an easy workout because of the race tomorrow, and it sort of was. I ran to the potty with Grace, and then we joined the team as they were just starting the warmup. We already had a half mile done, actually more because I couldn't figure out how to start my watch again until about halfway to the potty. Then we did a lap, felt fast, but I wasn't completely dying. Then we did a lap of fireman. I looked at my watch and I thought it said we were going 7:30 pace, so I crashed mentally because I thought this was so slow for how much I was hurting. I fell off of the group about 3/4 of the way, and stopped for a minute because I was close to puking. I guess eating before running isn't a good idea. Then I ran to the drinking fountain and stopped for a minute, then looked at my watch and realized that 7:30 wasn't the pace, it was the time!!! I switched the screen hoping that it would show my pace, but I forgot it only shows you the current pace. Wow this has some getting used to. Then did another lap for cool down. and a little extra to get to 5. Then Bill told me that it was 6:30 pace. That makes so much more sense! I just have to work on the mental part. :) |
