So last weekend I competed at IOWA and did not find out until today that I actually qualified for conference! So this next weekend I will be going down to Houston to run the 5k for the Conference USA Championships!
After finding that out I had to put my mind back in track competition mode. This means hard training and getting my body ready for a meet.
Tuesday we had a hard workout of repeat 1200's on the track. I didn't do as well as I thought I would but still did better than cross country season which was good.
Thursday we had a tempo 20 minute run then 5 200's after. My body was so tired I felt like I was running through sand.
Today we had another repeat 400 workout. I thought they were going to be so hard because my body was sore and I had a late night the night before BUTTT... I actually did super good.
Last time I ran these I averaged 88 seconds for each lap but this time here was my times
83", 90" (oops), 87", 86", 86", 86", 86", 86", 87", 85", 83", 81"!!!! Super good and super encouraging for conference track meet!. If I ran these split times in my 5k without breaks I would be UNDER 18 minutes for my 5k time. Woah! So this was encouraging and our last hard practice until Conference
Sunday we have a long run, monday abs and a short run, tuesday weights and a medium practice on the track, wednesday break, and thursday short run! We leave Thursday for Houston!
