I'm diligently striving to stay under 40 this week... but I don't think I'll make it. Unless really do sleep through practice tomorrow and don't make it up--unlikely to be sure. We met at Sugarhouse and I ran an inside lap with the "newbies." By the end my shin splints that started to re-manifest yesterday were really starting to hurt. Then we went to the hill below the segolily pavilion and played 21. We ran 3 400s and 6 200s I think, plus the returning jogs. I raced a couple of times, but never came close to getting the 21. After I ran back to the cars and waited while the others did a longer cool down. I tried to make core extra hard today, but I still don't feel like I got a great workout. Another difference I'm noticing between swimming and running is that when swimming it's a lot easier to push hard with a smaller "foundation." Like monday and tuesday were good hard days, but I'm backing off to not hurt myself and now I still feel antsy after a 5 mile run. With swimming every day would be that hard (and I'd be feeling dead, which I guess is less preferable haha.)
