Good workout today. I ran to the track, which is 1.4 miles, then did 3 laps of speed changes, changed into spikes and started. Bill timed me, it was one of the workouts that you don't know whats next until you do it. It was 1000, 800, 2x600s, 2x400s, and a 200. I was supposed to pick it up with 500 left each time to work on a kick, then the 400s with 300 left, and 200 all out. I hit 3:20, 2:38, 2:02, 2:00, 73, 73, 33. I felt a bit sick to my stomach but I find that happens a lot now. My legs were tired by the end :) then I changed shoes and ran back home. I feel stronger now than I did a couple weeks ago, and Bill says I look stronger too :) I think I will do awesome at State. I would love to be around a 5:10 for the 1600, I think I can do it. For the 3200 I'm hoping for a PR, maybe even get it down to 11:20? Who knows! And the 800, I'd like to PR in that too so break 2:25 and get as close to a 2:20 as I can. High goals but if I set my mind to it I can do it, like I did in the workout today. Before the 2nd 600 mentally I was losing focus, but Bill said it was the hardest one and to focus on it so I did, and got a better time than the previous one :) And once I got that one over with I felt good about it and the last bit was easier. Glad to finally have a good speed workout.
