I like to go off on tangents. You know, in case you hadn't noticed. So before I start rambling I'm going to get right into what my training week was like. I was on the track on Tuesday doing two sets of six 500s. I had 1:15 rest between reps and eight minutes between sets. Since it was my first real track workout, I went into it thinking I would try to run about 1:30. This would be 3 minute kilometer pace, which seemed realistic. Surprisingly, I had a bit more pop in my legs than I had anticipated and ended up running most of them between 1:24 and 1:27.

I spent the weekend at the McGill Team Challenge. Six Dartmouth Athletics athletes were competing, two of which are still in high school and train with the club over the winter. It was strange being back on the McGill track; the CIS championships were hosted by McGill in 2007 and 2008. I don't think I've ever experienced so many conflicting emotions at a track meet. First of all, I was WAY more nervous for my athletes' races than I have ever been for my own. Secondly, watching the 4X800 was a thrill.
