I'm so out of shape! This workout was tough, and it showed in my body language. Coach George kept alerting me on how tight I was holding my arms while running past him during my tempo. I definitely have not found my "running rhythm" yet, so running sometimes feels like work, so I think that is why my arms were so tense tonight.
This is just the 1st week back to track, so I know this is all temporary....just sometimes hard to see where I was, and where I am today....
