Sprint - 7 Green J 10 F-21 - Splits

Finally! I brought a watch! I actually know my time now. And thanks for handy-dandy google earth I know just about how long I ran. What a good combination :) I originally started running with a few other track kids, but three miles into their route (total of four miles), I got bored and they were running really really slow, so at the turn back to school I decided to run down to the middle school and on a trail through the back woods of the YMCA to get an extra kilometer on my run. I need to start running alone on the long runs, it's really awkward for me because I'm a little to slow for varsity (Michael and his buddyboys) and quite a bit too fast for everyone else. What to do? Coach says I should just run with varsity, which I think too, but sometimes it's annoying when you keep up with them for the first two miles but then they start pulling away from you. I'd rather set my own pace.

I set up a course for the boy scouts, it wasn't difficult. I got breaks every time I spent time putting a control into the ground. I made a few shameful mistakes, but in my defense, the scale was unbelievably tiny. Not a workout. Just sharing how much time I wasted in the woods.

1 mile total, that is. We did a sprinter's workout, lots of lunges. It didn't seem so bad when we did it but now....my butt hurts. A lot. 20 minutes is 100% guess.
