AM - 6.25 miles. 45 min with 30/30s. Great workout today. It was way hot and humid but we still managed to get a good group going and run really well. I ended up maxing out at 30 repeats. I almost dropped out at 25 but I told myself at that moment that I was going to make it all the way to 30 and I did. We had a really nice group today with about 8 guys until 25 and 4 guys who made it all the way to 30. I was so tired after and my legs felt really sore. Running club after was fun but I kind of wished we didn't do workouts before it.
PM - 6 miles. Chelsi Petersen 5k with 13ish min warm/cool. Time: 17:32. 3rd Place Overall. Not get many serious racers at the race. Mostly just our team since Desert Hills decided not to actually race it. I got out quick and right out in front with Coach and stuck right with him for most of the first lap. As we came down the home stretch towards the church, I started to fall back and Coach left me in the dust. I really wished I had just stuck with him a little longer because I really slowed down once I dropped off him. I hit the first lap in just over 8 min which was on pace for sub 17. I pretty much stayed in 2nd for the rest of the race until Jason passed me just before we turned to come down the home stretch. I couldn't get myself to stick with him and he easily beat me. Not quite what I was hoping to do today but compared to last year, it was a course PR of 1:28 (Time last year: 19:00).
