Dikes, 7:40 average. I started slow, like 8:00-8:30, thinking I’d go longer at a slow pace and, well, that didn’t happen. I just get antsy and pick it up because I get stressed about going too slow. Idk why, maybe it’s just because I’ve been trained to always go 50% pace. I felt good today though. Maybe I’ll try to wear my watch face down so I can’t look at it while I’m running, and just focus on running miles. But it’s so hard to not worry about pace
I think I might start running early in the mornings. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the training room is (most likely) open from 7-10am. It is a little iffy because it’s summer and there aren’t many teams practicing on campus or summer camps or whatever, but our new trainer Nate said that those are the safest times to come in. I do start work in the mornings, but if I run at 6 to 6:30 and be done by 7-7:30, I can spend a little time in the training room before doing what I need to get ready for work. It would be good to get on a good sleep schedule anyways. I’ve always been a night owl but the past couple months I’ve eased into going to bed around 10-10:30, sometimes I’m tired by 9:30. But I still stay up late until 11pm-1am if I’m having fun with friends lol. So maybe instead of staying up pretty late and sleeping in a bit, I could start training my body to wake up earlier at 6-6:30 and sacrifice those late nights. Plus then I’ll be ready for early morning XC practices in the fall :) I still am unsure about weights though, I haven’t been able to catch Coach I in the weight room and he hasn’t texted me back :( but I really want to start lifting soon, I’ve softened up and I’m weak lol. Maybe I’ll start with whatever I can do without equipment, I’m just not sure exactly how to create a workout/training plan for weights :/
