Played This Scene Before

Another of"'those days"the type that crop up from time to time and test your physical and mental metal,it,s how you cope w/ all that that ultimately dictates your workout,I can,t allow myself to feel mentally or physically tired during the day no matter what,s going on,once the repeat is over let the chips fall where they may but untill then I,ve gotta be all business all day and judging from my splits I passed this test w/ flying colours today.
20.27 and 21.15 for my 150s,consistant w/ what I want and a nice set up for the 4x400m.
I opened briskly,22,13,25 for a 60.29,I felt I was a tad brisk on my opening 150 and if I could correct that I,d be ok.
22,13,25,60.49 almost a carbon copy,except I took off a second from the opening 150m,like last year I feel I,m getting to grips w/ theses in and out 400s as I reach the latter weeks of them,23,12,25,60.81,if I could maintain this form I felt a 4th 60 second 400m split was mine for the taking......
As I waited patiently for my 5 minute recovery to elapse a runner passed me in lane 5 I hoped by the time my remaining 35 seconds has ticked off he wouldn,t be a factor.....24 seconds at 150 and 11 seconds at 100m{35 secs at 250m}it was go time,I looked up ahead of me and saw the same runner meters ahead of me still in lane 5,would I pass him b4 I reached the finish?As I reached the final 50m I knew I was going to pass him the question was inside or outside,in fairness to him he heard me coming and pealed off to the inside to allow me to hold my line in lane 5 but that split second of hesitation cost me a 4th 60 second 400,61.18
While ticked at that I was privately proud of my consistancy,I feel I,ve come a long way in 5 weeks w/ my 400s and clearly also in my closing mile.
Week 1 physically that mile was tough,ditto for mentally as I clocked 6.02.04,week 2,5.48.48,week 3,5.17.90 thanks to having Neil to push me,week 4,5.26.69 tonite laps of 1.20,1.24,1.26,65,5.15.97 and I feel I could,ve gone faster and can go faster,a nice feeling w/ one final week of In and Out 400s on tap for next Monday
