Today we did VA loop and went along guardsman and into Sunnyside to the white tree. We did 8 strides and then 800s. I finally felt like I could push myself today, except my pushing myself was at a slower pace than normal. I was supposed to hit 2:50s and I told myself I WAS going to hit them whether or not that meant giving it my all. Which it did. But you know, I don't care. I know if I was healthy for the effort I gave they would have been a lot faster, and effort is all that matters right? We were supposed to do 4 but Bill made a deal with me that if I went between 2:45 and 2:50 on the third I wouldn't have to do the last one. I was right around the same time coming around the last turn so I had to really work to make sure I was under. But I did it. Times were 2:50, 2:50-2:51, 2:47. It was really windy too so that sort of sucked. My throat and lungs burned and was really congested, so much pressure in my nose! And on top of that had a headache. So for having all that and still hitting the times I'm happy. Did a lap and back to the track.
