Speed workout at the Olympic Oval today. Bill and Miriam were there. We were going to do a 3 lap warmup, but Bill got talking about the Wasatch Back relay, so when I thought we were done with the warmup, he kept saying, "One more lap." It turned out to be a 7 lap warmup. He really had a lot to say about it! He is so proud of both of our teams.
We did 4 x 50m sprints and 4 x 200m sprints. Jude was there cheering us on. She was actually there for a work conference!
After the workout, I asked Bill where our run was going to be this Saturday. He said we were meeting in Kearns (that put some fear in my heart--our Kearns workouts consist of several intervals, sprints, hills, and tempo miles!). He noticed my scared expression and told me not to worry, that he was going to scale it down a bit. It has been such an intense June with all of our hard work and race efforts.
I told Bill I've been a little down since the WBR. He told me I am suffering from a "euphoria hangover." He said with all the great races I've had, it's normal to come back down and feel tired and worn out.
I went to the gym a little later on for a spin class. Tonight at work there is going to be a dutch oven-style dinner, so I'm excited about that! |
