Track workout this morning in the dark. It's kinda spooky when you can barely see the lines! Luckily it started to get lighter about half way through. I warmed up for 2 miles then ran 5x1600 with a 400 meter recovery jog in between and then cooled down for another 2 miles. I felt pretty good but my hamstring was getting tighter and tighter with each repeat. I didn't want to push it any harder than I did.

Last track workout before SG...CHECK! I am feeling pretty good about my training and I'm hoping for a good run come October 5. I'm getting a little nervous though because there are SO many fast girls running this year. I really want to place well but I think it might be smarter for me to just have a time goal and not stress too much about place. It seems like everyday I find out there is another fast girl running SG!

great workout this morning. it feels good to get that last track workout checked off, eh?

st. geoerge is definitely stacked with a lot of fast women, but you are right there in the mix. with such a great field coming together, it should produce some fast times. i'm excited to see how it goes for all of you.
