Training Log Archive: Tyrannosaurus

Disappointed that I'm sick -- I was ready for a solid, hard week of training. This was a nice easy walk in the woods, and was definitely the max I could do today.

Quick warmup -- was rushed and started warming up too late.

My first 1500m! I was in the second heat (unfortunately) and just kept passing people throughout the entire race. By the last lap I had put a pretty sizeable gap between me and the second place runner. It would have been nice to be in the first heat with the faster folks to have more people to really race against. Splits were 88, 92, 90, 65 (for the last 300m). Happy with this race overall, I wasn't sure how it would go.

Did a longer cool down to venture out and find some food. I followed directions to run to a nearby Subway, but when my phone said I was there, the only building around was a Walmart. The Subway was inside the Walmart. Ok, so I can just go in and get my Subway, not a problem. I walked in and couldn't find the Subway inside for the life of me. No biggie, I'll just get some yogurt and bagels from the grocery section, that's easy enough. I picked out some nice blueberry bagels and blackberry yogurt, and checked out. Just after I paid and was walking towards the exit, I spotted the Subway. Right next to the entrance/exit at the front of the store. Sigh. I like bagels so it's all good, but man I should have seen that. I ran back to the meet, and the sun started shining, and it was finally warming up! About 100m away from the team area, WHAM! I completely ate it, and went down hard. Broke open both my bagel bag and my yogurt container. There was a wire loop that somehow I got my feet caught up in, and it just took me down. Dusted myself off, and ran the last few seconds over to the team. Overall, a mostly successful adventure.

Thinking about the future in terms of classes and careers and things of that nature gets me in a mood. Feeling a little stressed and sleep-deprived, so I took the day off to try get to bed really early and get some quality sleep. Have a 1500m race this Saturday, which is going to be rough after this lack of substantial training. Plan is to actually run Thursday and Friday, then see how Saturday goes. Then get back into the regular swing of things.

Headache at work while starting my run. Fell asleep promptly after getting home, and had a solid 3 hour nap. I think I needed it. But then ended up staying up late trying to figure out various things including course registration. I have a sizable amount of miscellaneous things like that going on this week, unfortunately neglected from the weekend.
