We went 54 minutes today accidentally going over on striders. The run felt good, but I'm feeling pretty tight from yesterday. I'm still trying to keep running the level 3 workouts. Kids club was awesome. Unfortunately I've been gone almost every Tuesday so this was my first time but it was tons of fun.
I went 20 minutes with the team my shins and calfs are feeling pretty tight. My strides are good though. I'm finally back to lifting and I'm hoping to work on getting my weights up even more without sacrificing form or how fast I move during my runs. Also Addi gave a talk on how important the little things are and how small victories are important. That was cool. Coach also mentioned how fear can hinder us. Lately I think I've been doing better than normal because I've let go of my fear of failing. I am going to work my hardest to keep that attitude. While coach was talking about it I was thinking about how difficult the beginning of a race can be sometimes. There's so much nervousness built up around it. Im trying to visualize more to prepare myself for that this year. I was also thinking about how I want to react when I start a race. I think the best approach for me is to stay calm and just think about running with my teammates. Just focusing on being part of that pack. We've got another tempo coming up this Thursday. I'd like to keep this same attitude for that workout. I can't wait go out and try my best on it.
