I did it! Yay! Tonight I managed to jog (slowly but consistently) an 880. That's two times around the track without stopping to walk AND that was my end of June goal and here it is only the 7th.
Not only did I pull off an 880 I did it twice! I was so excited! I decided to push myself tonight as hard as I could to do the two 880s with a full 440 walk between each. Then I did a couple 1/4 track jogs at the end.
I'm very impressed with myself. I had to go to the dirt track tonight to avoid the teaming crowds at the rubber track. It had many runners, including some running group and the field is roped off for seeding so no one is kicking soccer balls at the runners on accident.
I think I'll need to ice my knees. They were starting to feel it a little towards the end.
Yesterday was good too. I didn't do any 880s but I did pull off another 440 and a 4 series of 220s with 1/4 track walks and 2 1/4 jog 1/4 walk series.
The 1/4 jog and 1/4 walk series is something I started after watching some guy running yesterday. He was lifting his knees really high and doing that prancing jog thing. I tried it out for 2 of those 1/4 jogs and while it felt super weird it was a nice, different workout.
