Melanie: Thursday

Went to the Health+ running class at the track for the first time. Seems to be mostly a group of hard core runners--some of the guys were running under 5 min. miles. I got there in the middle of a 200-400-800-1600-1600-800-400-200 ladder. I started as they were on the second 1600. The teacher told me to keep up with the slowest girl. I was able to keep just behind her and finished at 8:30. A few minutes rest and then into the 800 at the same pace. I pooped out and stopped after one lap. The teacher told me what we'd work on if I decide to come back.

The class meets twice a week. I might go back, I'm not sure. If I do, I have to get over my mental issues with running on the track (I hate seeing it all laid out there ahead of me).
