Thursday night was our very first track night. It's held at a high school in Tulsa and since I was unsure of exactly where it was, I ended up leaving my house super early, finding it, spending about 10 minutes on whether or not I should find a bathroom before hand or read my latest book. The book won. (Never underestimate the pull of a great book on a Mom who rarely gets uninterrupted reading time! lol)
Anyways, here is my home for the next 11 Thursdays.
Gorgeous, right? It really is nice, especially for a high school track.
Our track workout was 3 x 800m; 2 min. rest. I have now learned not to judge the workout based on distances...After a half mile run to "warm up", drills and working on my form the whole time I run, I've realized that these "short" track workouts are killers! I finished exhausted but elated, even though I was clearly questioning my sanity in this pic.
This was at the end of the workout, soaked in sweat &
AWESOMENESS!
Split Times were as follows:
Lap 1: 4:49
Lap 2: 5:07
Lap 3: 5:12
*I don't have HR this time because I forgot my monitor. Grr.*
I know she said that my split times were supposed to be within about 10-15 seconds of each other and I'm not doing too badly. It's still hard, but I'm hanging in there. I just want to PR. My dream is a 27 minute 5K. Every workout gets me closer, right?
