I have to admit I always dread Wednesdays because of track practice. The reason being is we never know what Coach Darrell will dish up for us. I know in the end it will help us with our endurance and speed but it's the not knowing that always scares me.
I am glad I went anyway because the main purpose of tonight's track practice was to find out our comfortable marathon pace. My pace buddy Andrea and I started slow and in the end felt good and sped up. I was surprised to hear that when we crossed the finish line our pace turned out to be a respectable 20:35 for two miles so roughly 10:17 a mile.
From that knowledge we were asked to line up with fastest time one one end and the slowest the other. Andrea and I were comfortably in the middle and then we were grouped in teams of 4. We did another relay race and let me tell you this time, I didn't feel like I was going to throw up and felt stronger and faster. I now am a believer with these track nights...I really am.
Here's a video of Andrea and I finishing track and with our excitement we said our race pace was 10:35 but really it should have been 10:17, details, details.
