Speed today. 2 laps warmup, stretching, and drills. Then we did 3 more laps warmup and a mile speed changes (tried to stay up with Natalie, Gavin and Tomy the entire time.) then we changed into our flats.

We were only told our times to hit for the first set. I thought we were doing 4 sets, so I was thinking it was a lot. four 400s in each set with 2 minutes standing recovery in between each one and a lap/5 minutes in between the sets.

My first set I was supposed to hit 85, 84, 83, 82. I hit 84.5, 83.5, 83, 82. I felt pretty good and tried to stay mentally tough. I thought positively the entire set, and so I'm happy. I also hit my times, which never happens!!! I always am super slow!! So I was happy and didn't want to ruin it.

2nd set was going to go 88, 86, 84, 82 I think it was. I hit them all right on or just a second off. I was happy. I noticed that everyone seemed to be crashing mentally, so I tried to keep the positive attitude up. Maybe it worked, maybe it didn't. It did for me!!!

3rd set I don't remember the times, maybe I mixed them up with the 2nd set. I don't know. But I worked hard, and it was definitely harder with both Gavin and Patrick not there to push me. So I was chasing Natalie, who is the queen of smoking people (ha) :) Anyway, I guess it was cool to actually be third in a workout. Ha. That doesn't always happen (actually, it like NEVER happens!!) I found out right before we started the set that we were only doing 3 sets, so mentally it got easier for me!!! I liked it. But I could feel my legs getting tired the third one, and the last one I pushed, but crashed mentally (But I'm still glad it was alright up to this point!!) and got somewhere between 80 and 90, Bill didn't read me my time. I'm kind of happy he didn't though because I would've probably had a fit. Oh well, probably got like an 86 maybe??

Then I did a cool down to get to 7.5. Was going to go to 8, but my legs got tired and my knee was bothering me so I iced it instead.
