Speedwork

I'm sitting here with butterflies swirling in my stomach.

I've done 2 tempo runs on the mill.

That, I can do.

Today?

Mile repeats.

1 mile warm-up.

3X1600 @8:09's with 800 recovery jogs.

1 mile cool down.

I haven't done repeats since before the Girlfriend's 1/2.

And this is what I did.

I haven't read that in awhile. And honestly? It just made me cry.

I think that part of my anxiety lies in the fact that I don't know what to expect out of repeats on the 'mill. I had thought about heading to the track, but I don't own a Badda$$ Mother Runner shirt. So when I saw the forecast and it showed rain blowing sideways my pansy self decided that the 'mill would be the way to go. This part of my anxiety has me doubting myself.

Then, there's the other side. Will I push myself enough on the mill? Or will I settle. Will I settle on 8:09's when I know there's more in me?

Think I'll go read my old post again for inspiration and head to the 'mill and hopefully have the most puketastic time ever!
