Fin.
Last track meet of my high school career. What a fabulous race to end the year on-- a 4x4 that had all individuals PRing and running competitively in the heat. Not raining, not too hot, not too windy. I will reserve my words for a more conclusive blog post later (towards graduation day perhaps) but it is so much a bittersweet moment. I am eternally grateful to Wellesley high School, Coach Chisum, and the middle distance group and the track team as a whole.

VICTORYYY!
Track!
"Of course he wanted to win. Those who saw him compete and those who competed against him were never in any doubt how much he wanted to win. But how he won mattered to him more. Pre thought I was a hard case. But he finally got it through my head that the real purpose of running isn't to win a race. It's to test to the limits of the human heart. That he did... Nobody did it more often. Nobody did it better." -Bill Bowerman, Without Limits

Last track practice! A bit bittersweet. Like the rest of senior year. Today was VERY hot so we ended up running through sprinklers and going to Truly's! Lemon Sorbet is delicious.

Not many blog posts left! Today was a quick workout--11 up then 8x30/30 on off fartleks with the rest of the way a cool down. Just short of 30 min total for a run. It was really warm and humid but the run and workout felt good--I felt nice being able to keep up and run as a group.

A nice Finish the 400 workout today--the first time I've ever done it! Possibly a 39.9 300m (maybe 40 VERY low)--and a 15 to follow that. What a party. 15 up and down. Very warm and sunny today!

Mile with 50 sprint 50 jog. Very smooth and intense (but only briefly). Ran with Joseph for the whole thing--solid 8:04 mile time. Weather was mild, no rain thankfully. Not humid!

So since I've been getting over a cold this entire week and I woke up feeling not too fabulous today, I didn't have high expectations for this tough workout.
Then the workout came. A nice slow warm up and then strides and drills. 600m in a solid 1:33 (29-31-33 splits) and then a 34 after that. Wow I wish I could run 2:07! 28.4 and 28.9 for the 2x200 that followed. Solid day! Everyone did quite well today. I wish I could be this satisfied with a race! 1:33 is a 4 second PR.
And GREAT final CFAW Performance tonight as well!
