AM- Today we did a new workout called 1/1 which is just like 30/30s but just double the hit time and distance. I made it all the way to 15 which is the most anybody got because coach stopped us for kid's club. I felt super good today! It felt easier than the 30/30s, but it was still a nice hard push. 1 mile warm .5 mile cool. (half a mile barefoot warmup). PM- I know for a fact that this was 3.1 miles. I calculated it yesterday with a GPS watch. Yesterday I hit it in 23:35. That for sure is a promise. I say this because none of you are going to believe what I did and I just about hate/love myself for it. I went out on a run purely because I was angry. I didn't even think I was going to do a PM run today. I don't want to say exactly why I was angry, but I was furious. I've calmed down now, but it was bad. So I went out of my grandma's house with my watch and started running. I decided to do the same route as I did yesterday. The exact same route. My watch was running the whole time. The thing that was so shocking about this 3.1 MILE RUN, was that I ran it in 17:58. That is more than a 1:30 PR and this wasn't even a race. I confirm that this was a 3 mile run if not more! I got to the halfway point at like a 9 minute and I decided that I was just gonna kill it. I didn't care what anyone would say. So I started going. I think I was in the zone. I felt amazing during the whole thing. I felt like I was on top of the world. I don't know what the heck happened, but I was not expecting me to run any faster or stronger than I usually do. I don't know what I did different, but I sure dang hope I can run this good at the time trial tomorrow. Coach don't kill me.
