I’ve been trying to do some reflecting since last Saturday.

Between the flight delays coming home and the initial rush-rush-rush of getting back to “real life” there hasn’t been all that much time.

1130AM workout today.
I took an extra early/ extra long lunch from work to make the time.

Split 400. Yay! Ha ha ha!

“I want you to know you really did run great this weekend Cassie,” Carla tells me as I’m warming up, “ I know you aren’t overly pleased with your time, but you have to know it did not accurately reflect your fitness level – it was just a few little things that affected the overall result.”

Argh! Isn’t it always the littlest things!?
Unfortunately a bunch of little things still amount to a larger issue!?
…thank goodness I’ve only just begun.

I run my workout with overly tight shoulders and no real extension in my stride.
I can feel my muscles reacting wrong, but I seem unable to force them to ease up.
The 300m of the split is run in 43.29 and the final 100m is run in 15.21.

FYI: I have decided to race again this summer. Senior Provincials will be held next weekend July 19-20 here in Regina; it’s time turn up the heat one last time this season!
