2 Mile Warmup and long cooldown today. 5x1k on the course. Legs tightened up the very first one, but we had higher rest. Nevertheless, I could've done with a little more mobility. Ground was also a little to unfriendly for us to be running in trainers, and the sharp turns were a little risky. I ran 3:05, 3:05, 3:17 (Long section for everyone), 3:11 (I'm not familiar with this section of the new course so I accidentally elongated it), and finished with 2:55 (Short section for everyone). Honestly based on today and last week I think I'm getting better at trying harder when I feel like crap and it's resulting in better performance. I'm not always going to feel good so this is an important skill. However, I wish I had developed this skill a little more before Portland.
