Once again the weather leading up to the group workout at the University of Richmond track looked iffy to say the least but once again as the time got closer the clouds parted and the sun came out. I knew going into tonight that we would be doing 12 400's with a 200 as a cool down in between each but what I didn't know was exactly what the coaches were looking for. Upon getting there we found out that we were supposed to complete each 400 in a predetermined time selected by the coaches for us and be consistent with our times., These times basically broke us down into several groups. After a 10 minute warm up we lined up as a complete group and took off for our first of 12 400's. Besides me my group consisted of Molly and Leigh and I must say that those girls rock. I don't think we ever finished more than a few seconds apart and Molly was clutch in letting us know that we were on target for meeting or goal. Though I think for most of our runs we were ahead of the pace selected but overall we were pretty consistent. While we basically ran as separate groups after the initial lap it made me feel awesome that we all were encouraging and cheering on our teammates as we jogged between laps. Tonight was not easy but it was made easier by my teammates and coaches encouraging words. We are all going to rock this half marathon.
