Want to know a surefire way to make yourself feel fat, slow and old? Do a track workout during a high school track practice 4 months after having a baby. Those kids kept flying by me as I did my spur of the moment track workout tonight. I’m getting tired of doing my easy 3-4 mile runs so I decided to head to the track. I picked 400′s because they usually make me feel fast an strong but not tonight. Still, I wasn’t slow, and I had a couple that were faster than they should have been when I was getting passed.
Splits were:
94, 95, 90, 94, 93, 90, 93, 94
Dude, that’s awesome! I can’t believe you went to the track – by yourself – and then did 8 400s!
Though (I can’t believe I am saying this) I am secretly jealous. I’d like to be able to do track work. I’d also like to be able to see my feet, which is questionable right now.
