Around and Around

"Holy Hot Batman!" This sums up the beginning of track practice.

We did the normal warm-up; jogging 4 laps with high knees, skipping, twist, and butt kicks on one stretch of each lap. Oh yeah, in 90 degree weather!

Then, we were off! We were supposed to run as hard as we could for 3 laps then walk one lap. Repeat for a total of 2 miles running. During the first 3 laps, the sun was blazing! However, as I began my first walk lap, clouds began to cover the sun. They remained there for my next mile cooling things off to 89 degrees. No, I'm kidding. It really did cool things off some helping me through that last lap.

So, if I run a 12 minute mile on a normal day, I probably ran a 11:59 minute mile!!! :) Baby steps right?!
