Felt great. 50% on Cross Hollows, out and back 2 miles. 7:37 average.
10x100m strides at 60% of mile pace with 15 seconds recovery afterwards.
Weights later, yep I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I actually kind of like weights though. It's hard but it's worth it.
Talked with Coach after practice, he gave me advice on what I should do if I want to be a coach. He said I should try to get a teaching degree. I'd been thinking along the same lines, I've thought about being a teacher since 8th grade but once I started running I veered towards coaching instead. But I can do both :) Ended up deciding to change both of my majors later in the day, both suit me better and I feel good about them. Switched Psychology to Mathematics Education because I love math and ever since middle school I've kind of had in the back of my mind that if I were to be a teacher I'd teach math :) Psychology really interests me, but I'm not as confident I'd be great at it. Math just clicks really well with me. Switched Physical Education Teaching/Coaching for Exercise Science because the PE - Coaching major sets you up to be a PE teacher as well as a coach and I don't want that. I just wanted to coach. I'd rather be a math teacher. Exercise Science would also open up more job possibilities if coaching didn't work out. And I think I will stick with these majors, I feel really good about them both. I feel like they set me up for what I want.
