I CAN do it

I am : TRACK

Today I worked out on the track...y'know, for real. The Mac men's Xcountry coach leads a group of young-old, fit-fat people every tuesdays for a personalized track workout. Everyone does the same thing, but at different paces, based on ability. Today we ran (after a long warmup) 16 400m dashes, with 1 min of rest in between. I started off kinda slow (84-86 sec), but for whatever reason, possibly a release of endorphins from my brain, I was able to improve that and my last two times were 72 and 73 seconds, respectively. I had never done such intensive HIIT training (High Intensity Interval Training) before, and it was a warm, welcome change from the lonely long miles that I have been running. My legs are dead right now, but I loved the challenge, and I can't wait for next Tuesday.
