Today I met up with Sean and he had me run 3*1 mile and 2*800m. I was supposed to hit 5:35, but I didn't have my watch and I ended up coming through at 5:08 my first mile. Again, it felt really easy and comfortable. My 2nd one was a 5:11 and it still felt really easy. My 3rd was a 5:17 because Sean wanted me to slow down more. On the 800s I was doing 2:18 and got a 200m jog for rest. (When you run XC for enough years you learn that rest and water is a delicacy. Do not take it for granted) Anyways I was feeling good until the last 800m and with 100m left I started to throw up. But on the plus side I was still staying pretty relaxed. When I finished I gagged for a bit but still felt good. Great workout! I warmed up with some strides and 2 miles easy and cooled down with about 1.5 to 2 miles (didn't have my watch so I'm not for sure).
