Yes indeed.
Yesterday I had my 3000m race, which went OK. My and my 'sort of' training partner aim was to crack 12 minutes and we did. But on the last 3 laps when I tried to close the gap I found I couldn't- and I really, really wanted to. I don't know, but I think my hips just went really tight and I just couldn't move any faster. But I strived for a sprint finish, and got it. But the past is the past and I'll work on getting my pace up. Also it was the first time for me to run 3000m, and anything longer than 1500m on the track (I've run longer in cross-country). And because I've only got back to serious training last week- even better! And that race has also motivated me to keep on with the serious training. And I wish to train really hard this winter just to get back on track. Because I want it. Badly.
Besides running, I have other news. I have been stretching (1hr Tuesday, and 2hr yesterday because of the race) and am going to keep on stretching. Turns out I really enjoy stretching, even though some stretches can be horrible to do! Maybe I'll post my daily stretching routine sometime.
And also the new blogilates calendar starts today! Woohoo! And it's even better than before! Go check it out- it's awesome! Sign up to the newsletter and you'll get to know the password to unlock the calendar. Trust me you'll love blogilates! Cassey is just so motivating and inspiring. Her workouts are the best.
I have also been doing some pointe work exercises and they're coming on well.
Same things today as every other day, but we're going to a water park tomorrow because my sister's having a friend over and so we have to take them somewhere!
