Notes
Today's 1200s were interesting to say the least. Our first 4 averaged around 4:32 which is a little slow but fine considering the heat and that was what Steen told us to do. The next 2 were 4:23/4:22 which felt good with us being conservative the first 4. Unlike last week, conflict arose in our group due to half stepping, disagreements in pace, and competitiveness. I hate to say it but running in the group I'm in makes me lose motivation sometimes because I feel like we're all trying to beat each other and show off to Steen who's having the best workout and that's not what a training group should be about. We should be trying to motivate one another and work TOGETHER as a team. I know it's because of where we stand on the team as a whole being in that range where at the end of the season some of us will run at state and some won't. I'm guilty of thinking about it but I don't use that to try to beat my teammates in a workout. I feel like for some that mentality has taken over their training. I guess we've already forgetten what we said at the preseason meeting about not trying to beat each other.
