Made an attempt at sub 2:00 today, but was too sick. I decided to run it anyway because I've been doing premeet for a while and haven't raced in 2 weeks and I wanted to stay sharp. Pulpy, Austin, cubby, and Mikey paced me, each paced me for a 200m. I started feeling really bad at the 2nd lap, I ran a great 58 for the first lap, but the second lap I started having trouble with my lungs, each breathe kind of rattled my lungs, kind of like wheezing, breathing through mucous. I kept going hard, I didn't think I was on pace but I kept pushing, on the home stretch I thought I heard someone yell 1:55 with about over 50 meters left and I kind of thought I was done, I still strided in strong, but when I realized how close I was it was just a little too late and I didn't get it. After I finished, breathing started hurting, normal breaths hurt just a little, but when I breathed in deep it hurt quite a bit. So for being this far off of 100% and running my PR, I am going to rip that sub 2:00 barrier apart next week once im healthy, I know I can get 1:58, maybe 1:57. So im excited about that. I was planning on running once I got up to the cabin... But from the way it looks, not tonight. I will run tomorrow, and try to go home tomorrow night instead of Sunday morning. I think the only thing here that I dont feel horrible about eating are bananas, I think pizza is the next healthiest thing haha. I guess I will find a trail to run tomorrow, im going to try for 10-14 miles tomorrow. Then Sunday will either be full rest or a few easy miles, and then I want to race the 800m on Tuesday again, but I need to talk to Coach Murphy and see when I should race, how much rest I should give myself. |
