Morning- Today was a tough run for sure. At least when I am not in shape.... But 0.5 mile warm up barefoot like usual. And then we did a work out that consisted of 2 park way loops. Push the long stretch of the hill, and then harder up the hill. It was good for the first one. Our pace was 6:45 going on the stretch away. And 6:38 going up the hill. The mile was 6:38 on this one. I was a bit beat from this one, because my legs have not hurt like this in a while... Like pushing up a hill. But I recovered well on the recovery one. Got my heart rate (HR) back down. And then we started out 2nd one, and I told to all the boys who were going to struggle a little to get infront. And it ended up working pretty great! Because mostly everyone kept up to speed. It was good. I stayed back a little on the long stretch to help the boys keep up, and push them, and have them help me pace. Hunter started giving in, so I gave him words of encouragement! :) And it looked like it helped for quite a while! But the kid is a beast! Then about the last 150 Abel, and By-run started sprinting! I was like umm? But I started sprinting too up the hill. It was a good work out. For sure made my work harder! But I want to work harder even now! Did I happen to mention I was a little pest today at first too. Sorry boys! :) |
