Ran down to Liberty Park and went the long way around until we got to the drinking fountain. There we grabbed a quick drink and jogged over to the sidewalk next to the Tracy Aviary, where someone has marked out 400 meters in 100 meter increments. We did 1 mile of 100 hard 100 easy. Then we jogged to the mile start which is the opposite side of the Aviary and did 2x800 with 800m recovery after the first one. I went 2:15 for the first and then 2:08 for the second. I really worked on both and it felt good to run a fast time. Then we jogged the long way around the park, going past the drinking fountain again, and then back to the school. We were at 8.5 when we got to the track but I went for ten to make the week easier.
Good start to the week! Felt strong during the entire run even if I was cold. I'm really glad that I went to 10 because if I had not I would have regretted it later in the week. Got the ACT tomorrow so that will be a blast!
