Monday 8/1/11 - 3 miles on the treadmill. I was trying to do a timed 3 miles but about two minutes from the end, I hit the wrong button and the treadmill turned off. I turned it back on and finished the run but don't know what my time was (around 22 minutes).
Wednesday 8/3/11 - Intervals!
400 yd warm-up
4 x (800 yds with 400 yd rest)
.75 mile cool down
Total: 4 miles
My 800s were around 3:06.
Thursday 8/4/11 - Fun Run
I was really nervous about the race today. I almost didn't go out of laziness. Before it started I was extremely anxious (afraid of the pain) so I made an effort to relax and get my mind in the right place. It worked. When I crossed the finish line, the clock said 21:56. I think the timing is a little screwy in this race series because the time they posted last week was 6 second slower than what I saw when I crossed the finish line. So, I made sure to look as I crossed and we'll see what they put online. Last week when I finished, I though I'd done 22:18 but they put 22:24 online. So, by my estimate, I improved 22 seconds. By theirs, 28 seconds. Either way, I'm really happy with my time. And, best of all. I felt good during the race. I was in control of my mind, which is really the most important thing in a race.
