Finally had a good(ish) workout! I still felt a little sluggish and slow on the warmup. 2 miles then we did some strides, after the first couple I was surprised to feel good. Then we started the workout, 10 x 2 minutes on 1 minute off fartlek. I felt good on the first two or three, then alright until the 5th, then I started to hurt. But it was the good hurt, something I haven't felt in a long time. I tried to just focus on sticking with Natalie and Bill. On the 7th I realized we had one more than I had thought (I guess I lost count) and my thoughts went negative (already were kind of negative cause it was hurting but added to it) and that was my downfall. Halfway into the seventh I fell off, if I had turned my thinking around I could've finished with them. But it's easier said than done, I just need to relearn how to stop overthinking things and just run with the pack cause I'm sure that's how college runnings gonna be and it makes things so much easier. Luckily I got a little while longer to practice :) Also kind of disappointed cause next week I'll be gone to my cabin and I'll miss out on a week of good training. I just don't want to dig a deeper hole. But it'll be fun and it's the one week I get to be with all my cousins up there, this time we'll have the boat out on the water! And maybe I can convince my mom to let me run off of the island. :)
