a month and a half ago i got back on the track (tentatively) after coming back from the over use injury to my left hip flexing muscles...it was mile repeat night...but coach being the nice coach that he is (sometimes ;0) gave me 5x800...don't go killing it he said...but i was excited to be back on the track...ran one...3.29 ok...i was ok with that...but then came the next four...there was no negative split...and this was the HARDEST track workout...it was taking everything i had to not fall off...but fall off i did...last one was somewhere about 3.39...ught...i was not happy...i remember being really upset and wondering what happened to my negative split...
tonight was a different story...the workout was 7x800...negative split the set...i did...i was so excited...and running the last one...kicking down the last 100 meters...felt good...felt not at all as hard as that first 800 that april evening...even if i thought it would take forever to get that feeling back...it didn't...and i'm going to enjoy it...now to get faster...

you know, if you keep getting faster, I might never have a chance to run with you :( and nothing would make me happier for you than for me to keep trying to chase you down:) great work, Jess...you looked awesome out there last night! yeah for track practice and negative splits and injuries that are a thing of the past!
