Not where I want to be, but much farther than where I was

Shots from #meetday at PG County today. I hadn’t done a real #trackandfield race indoors in 3 years so I went into this knowing I would be rusty and I would probably get smoked. Both were true. But there’s only one way to bust the rust and that’s to get out there and race. I started off with the 1600 and while I said I had no real goal, in my heart I really wanted to break 7:00. Also I knew it would be hard. But I came so close, running 7:03. For perspective, back in June when I did a #miletimetrial on the 1-year anniversary of my surgery I ran 7:59. And today was my fastest mile since the surgery. My real long term goal is to get back under 6:00, but that’s a ways off to be sure. For today I’ll take what I got and go from there. I then ran the #800meter after trying to do what I could to clear lactic acid out of my legs from the mile, but it didn’t work I guess. At about 500 meters, the wheels completely fell off as my legs and lungs both burned. I staggered across the line in an ugly 3:29. Basically I ran the first 400 at around 6:00 pace, and the second 400 around 8:00 pace. But I wasn’t done yet. I wanted a little more work so I did the #3000meter. At this point I had abandoned any pretense of being competitive in this race, especially after the 800 filled my legs with toxins. I switched from spikes to flats and told myself it would just be a tempo run. I watched the field gallop away from me right off the line but I swallowed whatever pride I had left and stuck to my plan. The 15:14 I ran equates to 8:10/mile, which according to the #mcmillanrunning calculator, is 8:10/mile right on current #temporun pace. It all adds up to very vigorous workout day and a needed reorientation to the track. I’ve got one more meet next month, down in Virginia Beach at the @tidewaterstriders all-comers meet. I’ll be looking to make some improvements there. #onerunatatime #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz #altragoldenspike #atreyubasemodel (at Prince Georges Sports & Learning Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CndBpM_OPRd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meet Recap Post! Squat: 385 lbs. 😀 412 lbs. 😀 (5 lbs. meet PR) 420 lbs. ☠ Bench: 258 lbs. 😀 270 lbs. 😀 (45 lbs. meet PR) 281 lbs. ☠ Deadlift: 407 lbs. 😀 424 lbs. 😀 (11 lbs. meet PR) 435 lbs. 🤬 Honestly, two weeks before, with balance and form issues still plaguing my squat and deadlifts, I had 0 confidence going into this meet. But coming in today, with some proper handling, solid warmups and my first Bang I was able to pull together some solid meet PRs. Even though I didn't make all my lifts, the ones I did looked more technically proficient and went smoother than they ever had in the gym. I knew exactly went right and what went wrong, which left me more motivated than ever to want to get back to training. Thanks to @picturesoffoodbarbell for going above and beyond with handling and coaching as always, really wouldn't have even come this far if it weren't for the constant programming, adjusting my form and all the midnight Wendy's / Arby's and Taco Bell runs. 😁😁😁 Wanna give a shoutout to all the Squats and Science fam for showing up for support and the extra help from @bigredmanny @shane_drozdzak @_theironsovereign who all took time from their packed days of coaching and volunteering to help me power through the day. 364 days till next year's meet. 🤔🤔🤔 #powerlifting #barbellmedicine #startingstrength #meetday #squats #bench #deadlifts (at S&S Barbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcyvDVHgJg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gyo8l5qjvhsq
