Had the opportunity of doing a speed workout since I won't be running at BYU this weekend. The workout was 4 sets of 3x300 at mile pace. We had 1 minute of rest in between each 300 and 3 minutes of rest between each set. Most of Team Pre is running this weekend (obviously) so I was doing it with mostly JV guys, and Brad (returned missionary who used to be on the team). I used my inhaler right before we started and then went all out. I was pretty upset with the fact that I'm not running at BYU, so I used that to fuel me, and with not a lot of miles this week I was feeling fresh. I won the first one by a lot and was concerned that I was going too fast. Brad counseled everyone not to push it too much on the early ones, but I was just going for it. I forgot my watch at home so I had no idea what I was getting, so I just tried to stay feeling consistent. I put on the workout sheet that I had a 49 sec. average for each one which I was happy with. I was the leader for everyone so that was kind of weird. I had some mini asthma attacks throughout and used my inhaler a lot more than I was planning on, but it all turned out for the best. I was super wiped out by the end so my cool down with Chicken Nugget was pretty rough, but at the end of the day I felt good about the workout, so that's all that matters.
