So today there were only 4 of us: me, Bill, Chris, and Natalie. Okay do the math: Bill, Chris, and Natalie are super fast, and I am always toward the back of the group. this is a recipe for a problem, and add no watch to that is just digging a deeper hole. I need a watch. Anyway, we went to the oval and did a speed thing. I did less than the other 3. we started with a warm up (i think it was 3 laps) and then stretched and got started on the rest. I wasn't actually feeling too good, but i just kept going. the workout the others did was 5 1100s? 1000s? something like that. I had to do their pace, but as they went around for a third time I dropped out. Bill told me to. I just stretched and waited for them, which gave me more recovery time (and I was thankful for it). Then we did 11 laps cool down. It was supposed to be a 10 mile run, but for the speed part I didn't do as much as them, so I did the math and i got somewhere in between 8 1/2 and 9 so i just said 8.75 miles for the day. |
