Now that I've gotten the BS out of the way, I've honestly just been lazy and every time I think of something to post I get distracted and forget what it was.. even as I type, my lunch is distracting me. Spaghetti with meatballs. tasty.
Back to business. Today was my first day back running on the track and it went surprisingly well. I only got two blisters from running gingerly on the sore foot and we capped off our 8 mile track workout with a surprise 9th mile that was intentionally descended. The splits for the last mile were 85, 80, 74, and 61! The 61 was thanks to Tahir, who instead of running 75 as planned, decided to show his Ethiopian heritage and put the hammer down. I held on until the last 10 meters, when he pulled away and crossed the line 1 second ahead of me.
The nice thing about training with an African is also the worst thing. You are constantly reminded of how much faster you need to run. I love the Tahir :)
