2 laps warmup and drills, then did 4 more laps and down to the asphalt hill where we did 8 hill strides. I worked those pretty hard. Then we did 6 miles (VA loop and 2 laps in the cemetery, then added at the track) and did 8 burnouts. I worked those really hard too. I'm feeling more energized lately, maybe cause my colds finally headed out the door. It's about time it has lasted two weeks! Cooled down to 11.25, got new shoes so tomorrow I get to wear them! This is the farthest I have run in a single pair of shoes... Yeah my feet were starting to feel the impact.
On a more positive note, I'm feeling strong and my speed is good, I now am beginning to believe I am capable of breaking 5:00 in the 1600. A month ago I had a desire but was iffy about whether or not I could actually accomplish it. Bill has been a huge help and has told me a hundred times he thinks I can. Now I can see it happening, and my desire is 10x stronger. I have been approaching practices differently and really want to do all I can to make sure I break it!
