Today we did track again, vertical laps, stretching and drills. Then we did our ab workout that made my abs feel like they were going to split apart. I've started doing core again but I'm not that strong yet. Then we went down to Liberty and went short way to the fountain. We got a drink then went to the mile, and did 2x 2 mile tempos with an 800 recovery back to the mile mark. On the first one Bill kept telling me to relax/slow down. It just felt so slow! I think we came through the mile at 6:31? And I didn't feel like I was pushing! Then again it was slightly downhill for that part but still... Bill told me to slow down and so we did and our little group got 13:47. Then Bill paced it and we were even and our splits were 3:25, 6:51 (3:26), 10:17 (3:26), 13:41 (3:24). It was even easier that way. I was surprised I felt so good because lately I haven't felt good at all. And what's funny is we were just running it today, and once upon a time (ahem, freshman year) I was racing and only got 7 seconds faster. :) Then we went back to the fountain and then back up to the school. Early bedtime? I think so.
