No run yesterday. Honestly, I don't know why either. I just couldn't make myself. After writing an 8 page paper and stressing about my math quiz, I just wanted to sleep and then go play futsal. So that's what I did. And I feel much better- today was a good day. It was sunny & my math quiz went okay & I found out today that by some odd miracle I was one of five people in my psych class to get 100% on a six page research paper I forgot about and consequently wrote in two hours one night. So hallelujah for making it through the week.
Today was hills. Buuuut... Sydney had class at 3 and Megan was late so I did them by myself. Which was fine except they were at a different place that I'd never done before (Coach just called them 1500 North hills, so I ran until I found 1500 North and assumed I was in the right place) so I didn't know where to start on the hill or how far up to go or anything.. I didn't even know what the real objective was, so I didn't know about pace either. All I knew was that I had 4 full hills at 1:15 and 4 steep hills at :32. The hill turned out to be a dead end street that ends in a steep dirt hill. So I started at the very bottom of the pavement for the first full one and ran sort of quickly until I got to a black thingy that was sort of where the hill leveled off.. at that point on the first one I was at 1:09, so I went a bit farther than that every time. Then on the steep ones, I first started a bit before it changed from pavement to dirt and ran up to a bush at the top, but I was very under 32 seconds on that one (:24), so I started a bit farther back after that. My third and fourth steep hills were much faster than the other two.
All in all, it was fine except for not knowing what I was doing, and also on the dirt portion it was extremely slippery because of all the melting snow, so it was hard to get any traction going up that part. 20 minutes warm up, 15 cool down, legs after.
