Well, the good news is that I finally had my first legit track workout yesterday. My hip has been pain free for 2 weeks today and I've been doing some harder training since, but nothing too crazy. I've been doing a lot of steady state workouts and as a result I'm really aerobically fit. The moderate bad news is, as I found out yesterday, I have a bit of work to do in the speed department. We did (500,500)(400,400) with 10mins steady state for set break. The 500s were meant to be at 1000 pace and the 4s and 800 pace. I was 1:15 for both 5s and 58 for both 4s. I felt pretty controlled, I was definitely pushing it harder than I have in a long time. I just don't have the turn over in my legs right now to dip down into the quicker times. Luckily speed is much easier than aerobic base to develope. I am still very optimistic that I'll be able to throw together a respectable outdoor season!
I also have a long road in school. I was a bit sick a few weeks ago and had a ridiculous sleeping pattern. As a result I was hardly ever awake and felt like garbage when I was. I kind of fell behind in my self-appointed schedule, but I've been working hard and am slowly and surely getting caught up. Apparenly I'm not a very good father (reference to my first blog post and school being like a baby).
