First official day of indoor track! We did 2 vertical laps and stretched like normal, and drills and such. Then we went to the weight room (it looks a lot better now that they've moved stuff around and added new equipment) and did lots of stuff in there like dead lifts, squats, lifted weights, planks, bench pressed the bar (ha), arm swings, and wall sits. It all seemed a lot easier than I was expecting. I remember last year I could barely lift a 20 lb. weight and it was easy to do the stuff the new coach made us do. Although the squats Griff made us do hurt my neck and now I'm pretty sure I have a bruise from the bar. Anyway, after that we went for our run and I wasn't completely exhausted by then like I was a lot last year. Then again we didn't do particularly difficult stuff, but still, it didn't even feel like I picked up any weights.
We did flagpole to flagpole run. We went to the U flagpole first, then to Westminister. I tried to keep up with Dakota, Andy, and Garek. They kept pulling away but they missed a couple lights so I was able to catch up a couple of times. Going back from Westminister to the school they all made a light and I didn't so for the last bit I was alone, but oh well, I worked. It felt like a fast pace and a good run.
