What a great evening in Austin, TX. During the afternoon the temperature was over 100 degrees, then some rain clouds came in and dropped the temperature over 20 degrees and hid the sun with clouds. The humidity was still really high, but it made for a great night of running at McNeil High School track.
We had 40 of us there again tonight. After 1.5 miles warmup we did drills and then Donnie had us do 1 mile medium hard, 100 meter recovry, the 800 meters faster, then 100 meter recovery, then 400 meters faster, then 100 meter recovery, then 200 meters faster.
I ran with Gordon and Veronica and another guy. Three or four others started out with us but couldn't keep up. We did the 1 mile at a 7:24 pace, then the 800 meters at a 6:52 pace, then 400 meters at a 6:08 pace, then 200 meters at a 5:20 pace. During this workout I got my heart rate up to 178 which is as high as I have ever seen my HR so that was fun, just a great workout.
After the workout we did a cooldown mile and then did the stretches with Donnie and the group. |
