AM: 4 miles
PM: Timpanogos relays meet today, I ran the 1200 in the DMR, the 800 in the SMR, and second leg of the 4x400 in that order. It was a fun low key meet. Maybe that was part of the reason I felt like hitting the times I was supposed to was hard when it probably shouldn't have been. I hit 73 first lap of the 1200 then backed off way too much and finished with 4:06. EEEHHHH. I was supposed to drop to 80s but I guess I liked 86s better. Legs were really tight though, didn't feel smooth or relaxed at all. Then in the 800 I did better, hit what I was supposed to (2:35). After that I had literally the worst mentality. I was tired, hungry, my knee hurt, and I was a bit cranky (sorry) and really did not want to run the 400. But I knew I had to. I thought we were gonna get creamed and I was only gonna ensure that, so when I realized I was gonna be in first place when I got the baton I panicked a bit. But I pulled myself together and did my best not to let her catch me. 100 left I felt my form fall apart. Did my best to kick but she got me right before the handoff. Pulled me to a high 65 or low 66, not half as bad as I was expecting! New PR actually... ha. We took second. Not a bad meet considering the brutal workout we did yesterday. Then I finished my miles to 8, to get 12 total for the day.
