Thank you Dejan =)
You never mentioned that in person.
I’ve never really considered it, except for my university track coach who trained me for middle distance - which I disliked - (and she had me race 400s and 200s… brilliant :o)
Monday, January 5th
[i]Today being the last chance to see some friendly faces at the indoor track downtown, I decided to do some training there.
I will surely miss my unofficial “training partner” (when i’m on the track), a top Greek 400m guy.His coach has been very kind to me, I also trained with her for 5 months back in 2004.
The two of them are very funny, quarrelsome, gossipy, and superstitious… a pleasure to train with =)
My friend was doing 80m sprints, during the second set he felt suddenly extremely tired, describing it like his eyeballs fell out of his sockets.
Coach: “the evil eye has hit you !!!” So she proceeded into dismissing the evil eye, by saying 7 "Our Father"s. Then they both started yawnin; a clear sign that the evil eye was successfully going away.
Sprinting session got finished there. [/i]
I did:
- half hour +++ running up and down warm up (this is a 120m straightaway indoor track)
Coach comment: “:rolleyes:Stefanie, are you going to make up for all of summer’s lost runningtime today?” >> she knows my obsessions too well. Then I stopped. - several A skips, B skips, runnin A’s
- 4 x 80m strides. The first 3 felt wonderful. The 4th felt more conscious.
Much socializing in between everything. Funny how everyone seems so so nice when you only see them after a long time! =)
In the weight room, to kill time while my ride finished his session:
- 3 sets of 15 leg curls
- 3 sets of 15 lateral pulldowns
No isometrics today.
On another note, my family got two puppies, half German Shepherds, I am in love with Laika and Loui, they are three months old and they are BEAUTIFUL … and I get to play with them only till Wednesday…
