15 Minute Warm Up. I don't remember typically warming up outside unless I was running the 2 mile, but I guess times change. We ran on the streets outside Reggie for a bit more than 15.
Race: 1000 m. Honestly, I could have gone harder. I guess I can't be too disappointed since I haven't raced in so long. Oh how I've missed Reggie Lewis and the reggie cough! I thought my first lap was good and I didn't sprint out like some Norwood girl ahead of me. Then I fell asleep the next 3 laps until I noticed the girl in front of me had horrible form and I thought "why am I losing to this girl? She runs horribly." So I preceded to pick it up on the final lap and I passed a few people. I did not PR, which I think is quite sad, but I will do better next time and that means there is lots of room for improvement. Positives of my race: I finished (haha), I didn't injure myself and I ran a nice tangent. Things to work on include pacing, pushing myself and accepting pain (which admittedly I am afraid of ever since stress fractures). I can't wait for the next meet so I can do much better!
16 Minute Cool Down around Reggie. Everything generally felt good today. Well, I felt my shins on the warm up, but my hip was okay!
Morning Heart Rate: I actually think I dreamt taking my pulse, because I don't think I actually did but as I was waking up I remember reaching for my watch so I could time it and trying to find the pulse on my neck. The morning is a very rough time.
