Another speed workout today. We warmed up and then ran a mile to the cemetery. We ran 4x200, 400, 200 up the gradual hill that we usually do whistle hills on. The 400 and the second 200 were short but running uphill made up for it. We did each of them at goal indoor mile pace. My plan was just to go fast and save some for the end. Around the end of the 3rd set I realized that I had too much energy so I turned it up a gear and got quicker for the last set. For the last set I was contending for the lead (with practically everyone else) and it felt great. On the final 200 I was able to beat everyone which doesn't mean anything but it was a good confidence boost. We were all really dead after that and had a nice slow cool down to get our miles to 8. I went to Jujitsu later that night and it helped to loosen up my legs which were really sore so I was very happy for that.
