I'm excited and relieved to finally be able to say I will be running D1 track and cross country at Wofford College! Livin my dream! I officially sent in my National Letter of Intent today, it's a done deal. Such an incredible blessing!
So after I signed I headed to the rec and did a 30 minute fartlek run of 5x6min intervals (3 min hard/3 min easy). The harder pace was probably somewhere near 3200m race pace. Some of the intervals were harder than others depending on the hills but it was a pretty challenging workout through and through. Afterwards I popped over to Western for some speedwork. I did 2 sets of 5x200m fast, like 800m race pace, with 40 seconds rest between each rep and 5 minutes between sets. I was aiming for 39's and hit mostly 37's, and a couple 38's. 1 was a 40, but that was because this group of guys was completely oblivious taking up lanes 1-3 so I had to veer out to lane 4 on that one. Felt pretty strong on these though and I was happy with my splits! Did some hurdle drills for my hip flexors and a 1 mile cool down afterwards. I can feel myself getting better. If I can get my mind under me too, I think I am gradually putting myself in a position to set a solid PR at regionals!
