So the wind finally stopped but the rain didn't. I did the workout in a steady rain at Redmond High School but it didn't affect me like I thought it would nor did the 45 degree temperature.
There was a whole lot of self doubt going into this workout but everything turned out just fine. I was supposed to alternate 3:03/3:00 (slow/fast) starting with a "slow" and ending with one.
First 6 were 3:02, 3:00, 3:02, 3:01, 3:03, 2:59. I told myself during the sixth that if I gutted out a sub 3-minute on that rep then I would forego the 7th. Well, I did the 2:59 but ended up manning up to the 7th and even though it came in at 3:06, I was pleased to have left it all on the track.
One more workout before my 4-mile race in Utah next week. |
