Since the roads were iced over and the weather was cold and windy, Kevin gave us the option of working out at Reggie tonight. Normally, I'm not one to hit the track while still in XC season, and typically I would be one to tough it out in rough weather. However, I opted to play it safe and workout indoors. I figured I would have more comfortable leg turnover at Reggie than on the icy roads and that was my main priority for what would be my last workout before nationals. Most people ended up staying outdoors so Jess and I were the only ones that ended up going to the track. The workout went pretty well, I felt comfortable throughout and the place was pretty empty so there was no traffic. I was planning on doing 8 repeats but after hitting the seventh a little faster, I decided to cut it short there and end the workout feeling good. Jess and I warmed up and cooled down on the normal loop which was slick in some spots but overall not too bad. When I got home, I made a huge dinner and ate way too much but only felt a little guilty about it. Now, I'm gonna get to bed early and keep my promise of getting plenty of sleep this week.
