Today was the distance challenge thing at the oval. 3 mile warm up. Then I did the mile. I broke 6!!! Yay!!! I started towards the back, and then with each lap I got closer to the front. On the last lap I heard Bill yell race and I realized I could give more so I went as fast as I could. I was racing the lead girl for first. Then I slowed down. I got way tired and started to thing negative thoughts, and they won. I need to work on that. THe girl behind me outkicked me at the last minute, and it took me by surprise, and then I was so angry with her and mad at myself for thinking negative thoughts, but I think i did an okay job of covering that all up. I then realized that I broke 6... my goal!!!! yay!!! And I got 3rd. (in my heat at least) Then I did 2 miles on the inside part. I stretched and whatever, then did 1/2 mile with Patrick. Then I did a few drills with him because I was bored and had nothing else to do, and he needed to because his race was gonna start soon. Stretched some more. Then I did 1/2 mile with Sarah and Bill, when Sarah and I were both almost late for the 800. I went in the faster group. I ended up with a 2:46. Pretty good race. then I did a 3/4 mile cool down. |
