Yesterday's Workout:
warmup to Texas School for the Deaf
10 X 300m at 1 mile pace
100m recovery after each 300m
NO WALKING
cool down back to RunTex
The point of this workout, I was told, is to prepare the body to buffer the lactic acid that builds up during a race. If your legs feel like dead weight, I was told, keep pushing through! If you can't breathe...well, only then should you walk during the recovery.
Great! Hopefully I can keep breathing...should be a fun workout?!
I ran the first 300m right at my pace. Second 300m, I'm pretty sure was at pace, too. Tim had to drop out after the second lap because of a shooting pain from his hip to his knee. I was sorry that he was hurting, but I was even more sorry that he had to drop out...because he was my watch for this workout. I have no idea whether or not I ran the rest of the workout at pace or not, but I tried my very best. I didn't start seeing stars until after the 4th 300m and I didn't walk until after the 6th. I only walked during this one recovery. All-in-all, a successful workout. No pain in my knee, no giving up, no vomiting.
Proceed to happy hour at Aussie's. Good job!

You left out the part about me offering you my watch, besides, I think you went faster than what we were doing when I was looking at the time. Good job!
