Today we did a bit of speed. We did 2 grass laps warmup avoiding the hill, then went to the asphalt hill and did 5 of those, then went back up and started the workout. We did 2 200s (36, 35) to open up stride. On the second one I got hit in the head with a football, thanks football players, it felt really good. Anyway, we then did 2 400s (80, 82) and then 2 800s (2:48, 2:50.) I was supposed to hit 85s for the 400s and 2:50 for the 800s. So it was too fast. But it was weird, I was feeling crappy and sick to my stomach. Normally when I feel that way I do bad in the workout. Like half of the team was hurting or sore or something, so Bill decided to change it and we'll do a better speed workout on thursday. We did one more 400 and called it good, but everyone was to hit their time (84 - actually had to slow down the last 200 - 100 meters to hit it close.) I kinda wish we had gotten it over with but you gotta do what the team needs. Maybe on thursday I can actually be consistently hitting the right times. Then we did VA loop and finished to 3, then got free donuts at Banbury Cross, which were delicious!
