Morning- Nice and easy 3. There were a ton of boys! That's good! Means we are getting better as a team! And everyone was super chatty, because of the 2 mile race somewhere that I don't know about! Yikes!
Afternoon- 1.5 mile warm up. 4x1000's, and 2x300's at F pace. First thousand I just wanted to go so I went without everyone else by like a second, or two. And I ran a 3:15 on that one... Goal time is a 3:11. Pretty off... But then on the second one I ran a 3:16... Even slower... And I decided that I can tell the difference between running work outs and racing! Racing requires an all out energy push through out your body, physically, and mentally! And by the last 200 meters you can really start feeling the burn intensity of any race over 800 meters! And the last 100 meters I can tell, if I am sprinting all out, or just finishing. I can tell the difference, between pain, and just going fast! I will tell you where I am going with this! But the last 100 meters breath is just gone (out of the picture). Forget breathing, forget burning out, forget everything else! Just focus on beating that guy, or time! So in a work I should be doing close to the same thing by the end!! Am I having the same intensity feeling? The same burning, or even worse? SO, I decided to "Raise The Bar", and ran a 3:12 the third one, which was great! And I could tell I was working harder! And I still felt pretty great! And the last one! I told myself to stay on pace! I tried something new! Checking my pace every odd meters (100, 300, 500, etc.), but I could really start feeling that burning intensity, and I hit a 3:11 this one!!! :) Best times of the season, overall! And the 300's were alright times were :44, and :45. Not too shabby, but I should be around a 42-43! I got it down! Amazing work out! If this is what makes me FAST, or BETTER I am willing to do it from now on! And went on cool down 1.5 miles. Good cool down. Coach asked me, if I am truly ready to run a 2:04 by SUU! And I kinda hesitated... But I said, "Yes!" I am going to get faster than that baby! HOT DIGGITY! It's really time to "raise the bar"!!! Time to crush the 4x800 record!!! :) Weights were just amazing! I have never felt this good during weights, or during this work out! By far the best work out overall. It's kinda pointless to write this much about it... But sometimes I just have to express my feelings, and thoughts! Sorry world! But it's ME! |
