Met Dace at Desert Hills High on the track for some speedwork. I did a warmup lap, and then we ran four 800's at 3:00, 2:59, 2:58, and 2:59. I was gasping for air the whole time. Dace was a little faster than me on the last two. The whole time he didn't look like he was putting forth much effort. I hate the speedwork, but it's a necessary evil I guess. My lungs were burning pretty bad. I ran a slow lap in between the 1st and 2nd, and then I ran 1.5 miles at the end at 8:00 overall pace. I was going to run a couple more, but I had to get to Webelos. |
