Did 4 by 400s. I should be at 4 by 800s comfortably right now, but it just wasn't going to happen today. Haven't been sleeping very much and am starting to feel it.
But I was pleasantly surprised today. I started my first 400 and I had to slow down for a few seconds to make a wardrobe adjustment. I've lost weight and now when I run my pants fall down :) Not complaining, but it definitely doesn't help speed training. BUT after I completed the lap I looked at my watch. I did it in 1:34 even with the slow down for adjustment! Woohoo! That's a record for me. Now I just need cut of 10 seconds from that and I'll be within my time frame for USATF qualification. That is, if I can do four of those at once after I cut ten seconds off. :) ha! Well, it's going to take time, but I proved to myself today that it can happen. Last week I was running 400m in 1;50, so I have made improvement. And it felt comfortable too. All of those factors together give me hope that I might actually make my quals for USATF. I really need to start my LSRs. I'm doing great now on my speed and drills, etc, but I really need to get a weekly LSR in. I haven't been able to because it's so much time. But I really need to start working those in.
My kids came with me to the track tonight to run and play. I have to say, my son may run like a velociraptor, but that kid can haul!
Felling great and mostly free of injury. This week I've been feeling a little twinge in my psoas. But I'm hoping to just work through it. EDS pain is unpleasant this week, but not terrible. Last week is was awful. But this week it's just annoying. :) I can handle annoying. Mostly back and hip stuff and my shoulder has been dislocating in my sleep. But that's how it goes. Whatevs.
