Notes
If you've been following my log this week, you know that I've been battling allergies or a cold or something. Yesterday evening it was at its peak. Felt like my head was going to explode b/c of my sinuses and was just generally lethargic. Woke up this morning feeling a lot better. Not 100% yet but optimistic that I'll be there very soon.
With that in mind, I didn't know what to expect from today. Over the past few weeks, my plan had been to do 4x400 today as my final opener-upper workout. Not being sure how I'd feel, I was not planning on doing that. One Idea was to run 400,300,200,100 just to open up my legs but not have to deal with running full quarters (that's how bad I felt yesterday - the idea of doing multiple quarters was daunting). So I ran my first quarter and was super surprised to see that I ran 72 and felt pretty relaxed (and was in racing flats). I took about 70seconds down and continued on with a nice 4x400 workout w 70 sec rest. Pleasantly surprised w how well it went. Big confidence booster that come Saturday I'll be ready to go.
Late afternoon update: Feeling better and better as the day goes on. Still a bit dry/stuffy but better than this morning and WAY better than 24hours ago. I must admit, being under the weather was stunting my excitement for Saturday. Now that I'm getting some energy back the excitement is coming back with it. Awesome.
