Felt really similar to yesterday- tired. Made it through a full day of school, so I'm feeling plenty better. The girls had a super long meeting, so when we started our workout it was later than usual. Warmed up a mike wih Rachel and Danella. Everybody else is doing premeet for the meet tomorrow. Our workout was cruise intervals. Rachel did a speed workout, so I was all alone. The guys were told 6 to 8 sets, but Coach just wanted me to play it by ear. I was able to do 4 sets with the minute break. I was supposed to hit a 3:56, and they were all fast: 3:44, 3:47, 3:51, 3:53. The first was amazing. Halfway through the second, my body caught up with me. The rest were painful, but I held my 200 splits to hit them all. During the majority of the intervals Coach was there to push me. They were blasting music on the speakers which helped so much. The breaks included me trying not to fall over and coughing my lungs out. While I was running I was coughing a lot, which probably looked funny. I was so tired after the 4th and knew it was from being sick. Took an 8 minute break to get multiple drinks, spit, and stand in the shade coughing. It wasn't fun. Finally started 2 more miserable sets. My 200s were perfect on each set, making my times barely on: 3:53 and 3:55. Coach told me just to get back into and not worry about doing 8 like the guys, so I stopped there. Went to sit in the shade, but saw Ethan and Landon going for a cool down, so I went with them. I have rarely struggled that much on a cool down. Towards the end, I dropped. It was all good, though, because I was done. I forgot to mention it was hot, but it was so nice to be outside. Went home and didn't realize I took a 1.5 hour nap until I woke up.
