Alright, just so y'all know, food is good for you. So I downloaded this app called fatsecret to count my calories and stay on top of things, and based on my activity level and age and weight and all that stuff, it said I need 3700 calories every day. Thinking about it, I've been getting closer to 2500. So I actually ate enough yesterday after my fail of a workout, and today was freaking fantastic. First we did a mile of speed changes on the track, just to make our legs a little tired. Then we did the dream mile and a half. I felt really good from the start. From the beginning I started pushing the pace, and by a half mile in, I was decisively in the lead, constantly pushing because I felt like I could. We came through the mile in 5:35, where I was still leading. At that point, Connor and Ryan picked it up, and I did my best to stick with them. I ended up finishing third after Ryan and Connor with a time of 8:31 and a 9 second PR. I was very happy with today and I am looking forward to a half season filled with food and fast times. #thumbsup |
