3 laps and about a third of one at Liberty Park

The first lap was just a warmup, the second was a fireman lap, the third and 1/3 was a cooldown.

The first lap was fine, along with the cooldown.  But the fireman only worked until about the halfway point.  After that, 3 of the 6 in my group couldn't keep up.  Then, Delaney ran a bit too fast for me and the other girl who were keeping up.  So it kind of turned into a normal lap about 3/4 of the way in.

I think I ate a bit too much before the run (Why can't I get the food right?), I was feeling nauseous at the end of the fireman and all through the cooldown.

But overall, it was a good run.

Although, I'm confused...  Are cooldowns really supposed to be longer than any other run that was done during the exercise?

Cool downs vary. They're mainly just to get the lactic acid out of your legs so you're not sore the next day, especially after races.

Sorry! I just wanted to finish the lap and be done because my lungs were really closing up on me. Good job today though!
