Notes
Did most of this run before the team meeting at 3:15, which took place of regular practice today. Bumped into Monica on trails, and we ran a few miles together. I got about 5 in before the meeting and finished up the rest after. I know it's not the best way to do things, but the meeting was very brief and pre-meet days are supposed to be pretty chill. I ended my run on the track, where I spiked up and did a few strides. Then I ran 2x200 at 10k pace to get the feeling in my legs. I think one of the markers was off, because by 100m split was always a little fast, but my full 200m time was a little slow, even though I was finishing with the wind. Unless I was running too relaxed...I ended up being a second slow for each 200 (43 instead of 42).
I then changed shoes and ran back to my apartment, spike bag in hand. Excited (and anxious!) to see what tomorrow has in store. It will be my second 10k on the track ever, and Liv just informed me she won't be racing it with me. Something came up, and now Coach is having her do a hard workout instead. She's really bummed, and she says she is driving to Hillsdale solely to see my race. That makes me super happy and grateful, because my race is at 9:30pm, and most of the team vans will be headed back to Lansing at 9, according to the schedule. I'm scared no one will be there to watch or care, but at the end of the day, I'm supposed to be my primary motivation, right? It's gotta be intrinsic.
