I was really motivated to do a hard workout today because I had missed the Weber meet and pretty much all of last week, so I felt like I really needed to push myself today. The workout was 16x200 meter at 40 seconds faster than 5k pace and a 100 meter jog between each interval. Hayden, Eric and I warmed up for a mile before we started. Since the track was covered with snow we had to go out on the road and do it, which sucked. Doing speed workouts like that without a track makes everything hard because you don't know exactly where 200 meters is. So we ran hard for .13. I did pretty decent on the first 12, but on the last 4 I fell off. We finished with a slow mile cooldown. It was a really good workout and I was really happy to be outside in the great weather. I'm starting to hope for spring weather. Finished with 5 miles total.
Went to Sports Academy and did 3 easy miles on the treadmill. I set the incline to 2 so it would feel more realistic to running on the ground. Next up I did an hour of weights focusing a lot on my legs, but I did some abs, back, and chest work. I'm gonna wake up way sore tomorrow but that's okay, I like that feeling.
