Mile warmup then went to the training room to check hip alignment, pretty far off today. Hip was rotated back and down/out to the side, got two good pops and it was back closer to normal. Not right on but a lot better than it was. Haha Drew was telling Stephanie of the time in Idaho where he realigned them and got the loudest pop in the hotel hallway that sounded like a gunshot hahaha good times
Anyways strides then started. The workout was originally going to be 10x400s with 90 seconds rest (goal pace 75-80), but it was so cold and we were all hitting slower times than I think Coach expected so Coach told us (meaning Jacey, Brighton and I and the 10+ guys also doing the workout) after we’d done a couple that we were only going to do 6. I was pumped about that haha, I’d been holding back a little to start slower and reserve my energy for the end, and to stay relaxed. It was what felt comfortable. Once he said that I thought sweet! Time to push. Eh. Maybe my “push” still needs to be taken down a notch so I can hold it lol
Also Brighton ran with us today and it was so nice to have her there to pace with.
Times went 81, 82, 78, 74, 77, 79. So 78.5 average. I still need to relearn how to go fast lol but I’m coming along
Then cooled down 4 miles. Was planning on 5 but my right hip flexor was hurting a lot so I called it. I’m super tight in my hips, Drew got a release in my piriformis and then I iced and we called it for today. Will start exercises up again tomorrow, Drew and Stephanie got after me for not coming in to do them for a few weeks lol my bad
