These are the days I love running. I hit my times and we leave for Footlocker tomorrow! We ran to Sugarhouse, did some strides then started the speed. We did 5x600s starting at the start of State, then up the little hill to Highlands track, hairpin turn opposite direction of state and finished 100ish meters past the normal finish line for track. This was to mimic the finish of Footlocker, small uphill onto the track and around to the finish. I was supposed to hit 2:15s (6:00 pace). I hit 2:16, 2:12, 2:09, 2:07, 2:03. After the first one I asked Bill what my window was and he said there was no window. So I told myself I was gonna work hard the next one now that I knew what it felt like, and I was gonna hit 2:15 or faster. Then the next I knew I could go faster if I worked, and so it went for the rest. It felt awesome. The sharp turn onto the track was annoying but that's gonna be similar to Footlocker, maybe not as sharp. Ran back to the school and added a tiny bit to 9.
