AM - Track workout with the club 12 x 200m. Arrived a little early to get in a longer warm-up. Still felt a bit warn from being out in the sun yesterday afternoon. Still had a great workout. Good sized group. 8 miles total.
PM- PVHS Track meet - ran the open mile. I don't think I've been that nervous about a race in a long while. I'm not normally selfconscious but I felt a bit intimidated - all the people in the stands watching and knowing I was going to get worked like a dog. Anyways the race started off a bit fast (for me) - I think I went thought the first quarter at 67 (that was holts time and after looking at the vid I was a couple few sec back at that point). I had no idea how to pace myself - I just tried to hold on. it's been forever since I've done miles. By the time we came around the first corner of the 3 rd lap I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. I could feel myself start to lose form a bit and just tried to muscle through it. By the time I hit he 4th lap my lungs were burning and my legs were just not moving very quickly as we came around the last corner some HS kids sprinted past me - I just pumped my arms and hoped the finish line would come quickly. - 5:06 - pretty happy with the time with considering I ran track this morning. 4.75 miles total
