AM - 7 miles. 4x1600 at 87% (goal - 5:29) with 400 recovery and 1 mile warm/cool. We did our workout this morning I think to space it out a bit more from the Panther Relays tomorrow. I'm glad we did since it ended up being boiling lava hot after school. I didn't do as great as I hoped but an improvement from the last couple of weeks. My times were 5:26, 5:30, 5:32, 5:40. I guess I may have started a little fast but I knew I needed to push right with Matt and those guys to help me stay on pace (and maybe even help them stay on pace). I think I just have a lot of negative vibes towards this workout and so it really starts to drag me down. I have kind of gotten in a habit of running this workout like poop and so week after week it drags me down. I think that I am going to have to forget all the times I have done bad on this workout and just remember the good times and I think that will help me out a bit.
PM - 5.5 miles. 4 miles easy with barefoot striders and 1x300 and 1x400. Great run but it was super hot. The foot was hurting a bit so that was a little frustrating. I hate how it just keeps coming back to bother me. The 300 was a good push but not sure of my time. The 400 was just a race between a few of us for the 400 spot in the DMR A team tommorow. I totally stunk it up with probably my worst 400 this year but that's okay. The legendary Goggles was definitely the smarter choice.
