temper my expectations

January 4, 2013--tight calf still.  Went to Westtown to do a little sprint work.  The track was partly icy, so I had to improvise with the 150s.  I started at the far corner and finished where I'd normally start the 150s.  My thought was to do 6 or 8, but given the late time (I got there at close to 6AM) I wouldn't be able to get them all in.  Warm-up jog: 5:55-6:05; stretch 6:05-6:15; spike-up and drills: 6:15-6:20.  My workout began at 6:20 or so.  Like I said, late!  My goal was then 2x150 @ 23, 2x150 @ 21, and 2x150 @ 19 with a 250m/2:00 jog between each repeat.  I began with an awkward 23-second 150.  After the second one at 24 seconds, I figured that I would temper my expectations, especially since my calf was tight (and still is as I write).  So I continued #s 3-6: 22,22,20, and 20.

I sure hope I am better for Saturday's meet at Delaware.  I'd like to run 2:10 in the 800.
1st 200--31 sec
2nd 200--32 (63)
3rd 200--33 (1:36)
4th 200--34 (2:10)

January 3, 2013--went to the Y and did a little combo of running and lifting.  Not much.  Low key.  Tight right calf.
