Be the Hunter, Not the Hunted

Oh the joy of death. It bekons like your awkward aunt who you look forward to seeing but once you visit you have had your fill for a while. Until those visits start to grow on you and you start to look forward to the tangible awkwardness and uncomfortable atmosphere conjured by never-ending small talk. Oh, did I say death? I meant speed. Particularly 1000 repeats followed by fast 400's. What a coincidence, that's what we did today! Lol the workout was 5 1000's at goal pace for NXR (just under 5) and 3 400's, the first one being at mile pace and dropping 2 seconds every lap. Rest was 3 min between teh 1000's and 2 min between the 400's. I decided to just put myself out there and run with Michael and see what I could do since this was my first speed workout with the team since summer. My splits were 3:06,3:03,3:08,3:10,3:09,68,68,65. The first two I hung with Mike pretty good but from then on I dropped off a bit. I was hurting. Nevertheless I pushed through! From there I was able to stick with Chuck for the most part. He's a good guy. My apologies to him. He knows why lol. I kept right on pace for the 1000's, except the 4th one was 5:03 pace... big whoop. When the 400's came I was about ready to collapse and die on the track. Idk how I did those. I'm glad I was able to drop time the last one, that was tough. Shoutout to the team because I love them and I'm pumped for NXR.
