Fitness test day: sprints and post-workout weights, five-mile easy pace run
La Cueva High School Track and Tramway Bike Path
"I haven't been this nervous for a workout in a while! But as I ran, my times were better than my coach and I expected, so that's always a big win. All-out effort was definitely there, because the last few seconds of the reps felt like hours. Following the fitness test elements, I did an easy and short cooldown to finish a good day at the 'oval office.' Then, off to the gym to squeeze in a bit more strength training! With such a short and intense workout, I had some miles left to finish out the day. At sunset, I laced up for a solo run on the bike path. I was listening to music, and since I'm so used to running with my teammates, it was actually different and a nice way to change things up."
