AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Felt good this morning in our nice easy pace and it wasn't even very cold this morning. But that just meant that it was warm in the afternoon... Yuck.
PM- .5 prewarm, 1.5 warm, 3x1200 w/recovery, 1.5 cool. Went in to this feeling super great (except I think I'm developing a headcold because I was super congested) and I did pretty good on my first one with a 3:59. It really took the wind out of me, but I was feeling a little less pooped out by the end of the recovery and I really slowed down on the second one and came in with a 4:11. All that was in my head on the last one was just to improve from that horrid time. Coach told us to focus more on the second half of these and that's what I wanted to do so I purposefully held back a little on the first half of my last one and I really took off on the last half. I was with Jason and he was pushing to keep with me, but I am a really stubborn runner when I really want something. I started to push away from him at about the baseball field and caught Krenny and ended up gapping them by 7 seconds by the end! Last one was a 4:07.
