Today coach decided to switch workouts, so we ended up doing our tempo today instead of a recovery run. I wanted to go with the beginner group because, let’s face it, I am not the fastest girl in the world. But instead, he looked at my mileage and literally dragged me out of the beginner group to the advanced varsity workout. We did 3 x 5:00 at a park covered in ice which made it difficult to stay with the pack- I am not the most graceful person. But, i finished the workout, coach talked to me after practice about how much I have improved. Oh and did I mention 178 miles on my own in the past 5 weeks? bitchin.
