Track workout tonight was AWESOME!

1 mile warmup
1x600, 2 min. rest
1x500, 2 min. rest
1x400, 2 min. rest
1x300, 2 min. rest
1x200, 2 min. rest
1x100
6x30, starting laying flat on stomach
4x50, 3 tuck jumps first, focus on stride length
4x80 backwards
Pushup matrix
8 min. cross country abs
Half a squat matrix
400 cooldown
20 minutes throwing

I felt SO GOOD during this workout! During the 500, I had to stop and almost boot, but it was completely psychological. I was doing fine and controlling the urge to boot, but then my teammate was gaining on me and I could hear her behind me, and she was breathing heavier than me. My brain heard her breath rate and decided that I was in fact breathing that hard, even though I wasn't, and boot reflex started. So I had to stop! It was so weird! During the 400 and 300, I stayed just behind the heavier breather, and during the 300 I was surprisingly able to accelerate past her during the last 50 meters. I ROCKED the 200, just like a race back in the day! And same with the 100! It was fun! I couldn't do the 6x30 because on the first one, my back did something weird, so I sat out. But man...this was a great workout. I didn't need my inhaler! Or at least, I didn't USE it. The 2 minute rest allowed me to really power through the 200 and 100, which was AWESOME and extremely rewarding. I love hitting my top speed. SO MUCH FUN! I feel like I'm flying!
