More speed today! The workout was 6x800m on the grass with 3 minutes rest. Let it be known that my legs were destroyed before we even started this sucker, from weights and the subsequent run last night. It was in the heat of the day, so that was rough. My splits were 2:31, 2:35, 2:38, 2:37, 2:37, 2:36. The first couple were rough, and I was struggling to keep my cool mentally. Nate came up and talked to me, asking how I felt. I told him I had nothing in my legs, they just didn't have much to give. He told me that regardless of how I felt physically, I needed to stay in it mentally. I relaxed, got into a groove, put my head down, and drove through the rest of the workout.
I'm very proud of my effort today, even though the workout wasn't that crazy. I was always towards the back, but I never completely fell off the pack and I was able to negative split the last couple reps. Really tough stuff today. Got it done. I'm excited to see what's next, haha at least after I can walk normally again.
