Whhaaattt Wednesday and early thursday

Whhaaatt wednesday is this new thing that Coach is trying to start to get some recognization on campus.  Every wednesday we are supposed to wear team stuff, even some of our uniform gear.  Its been a lot of fun seeing other teammates around campus wearing their stuff!

Tuesday was an interval workout day.  8 200s, beginning every 3 mins.  They were pretty tough.  We were supposed to be between 34 and 37 secs.  I was in range the whole time, usually closer to 35.  I was quite pleased.  I was exhausted afterwards though.  Then we went to the weight room for axillary lifts.

Wednesday was a jump day.  I was getting frustrated because it seems like every practice I don't ever really get work done becuase I am freaking out about my run the whole time now.  Its been like 2 years, i really wish that this problem would go away.  For lifting yesterday we did front squats, 140lbs for max reps (8,7,8).  Then, hang cleans 100 lbs 3 sets of 8, and bench 90 lbs 3 sets of 8.  This is way lower than I am used to, but Coach really wants me to focus on getting them all of the way down.

This morning I got up early and headed to the freeman center.  Today was supposed to be just some approach work followed by a work out.  Thats not what happened.  I warmed up then did some work to prep my triple jump approach for saturday.  Then Coach wanted me to make sure my pole vault marks were good for tomorrow.   Rich was doing some work for the decathalon, so some how I ended up getting to jump.  I got off the ground a few times, but they were really ugly, I don't understand why this keeps happening.  Hopefully, things will come together better tomorrow!!  Pole Vault begins at 4 and I am going for 3.35!  Here's hoping for some new heights!
