Speed today. We did a mile warmup mile speed changes. Then we did a lap to stay warmed up. Then we did the not-telling-us-what-the-entire-workout-is type of workout. We did a 2000, mile, and then a 1200. For the 2000 I was supposed to hit 8:00 I think. Bill just said hit the first lap at this time and then get 4 seconds slower each lap. I started out fast, but then as I got slower I slipped and hit it at 8:09. But I was the closest in our group to hitting it. Everyone else was behind me.

Then for the mile we were supposed to start slower and then speed up. weirdly, this wasn't so bad for me. I liked starting slow and then speeding up. I felt like I was getting more and more focused. I was on pace for the first 2 laps, but then on the 3rd I slipped and it made my 4th one really hard. I tried to do what Bill was yelling at me and I did them, but I had a hard time doing it for a long time. with like 200 or 100 meters left I died. I hit 6:27??? I can't remember. But it was off by 12 seconds.

Then the 1200 sucked because by then I was just ready to be done, and I really didn't want to do it. It didn't help that I was always the one to be up front and there wasn't anyone to push me, and I couldn't really chase anyone because Abigail and the boys were all hitting faster times. I can't remember my time, but it was slow.

Then we did 4 200s just "opening up the stride" but they seemed like normal 200s. They weren't timed but we still knew our times. weird how that happens :) I hit 39-41 on all of them. I hate the wind.

15 minutes of cool down was what we were supposed to do. I did 3 grass laps but wasn't quite at 15 minutes yet so I just took it to 8.5.
