9/8/2013

On a running clock:
@ 00:00: 2400m run for time
@ 16:00: 1600m run for time
@ 28:00: 800m run for time


15:35
9:30
4:40


This was terrible. I hated it so much. I am a really bad runner and this was definitely not in my wheelhouse at all. It was a bit stressful because I wanted to make sure I went fast enough so I had a bit of rest before each run, but that really didn't happen. The 2400 meters took me 15:35 so I basically had no rest before the mile started. I ended up walking the first 100 meters so I could catch my breath. The mile was definitely the worst part, it felt like it took forever. I had a bit more rest after that before the 800, and the 800 felt the best for sure. I think it's because in my mind I knew I was going to be finished soon so I pushed harder because I wanted it to be over. The whole thing was just bad, I felt awful during all the runs. I wish I was a better runner and that these types of workouts weren't so difficult for me. My quads were smoked from "Karen" yesterday so that added to the unpleasantness. Overall it was a discouraging day, hopefully one day I will actually enjoy running distances longer than 200 meters. On the plus side, it was cool to go to my old high school where I used to run track (sprints, not long distance, obviously). 
Loveland High School track!
