A different kind of practice

Today we started off with only 3 laps around the track for warm up since it was extremely hot! Then, we worked on our form. He told me that I hold my arms up to high and need to bring them down. I have been trying to bring them down but it's hard to change something once your used to running a certain way. After we worked a lot more on form we worked on running straight. He had us pick a line and try to stay right on it. It was a lot harder than it sounds! Then he had us pick a line on a curve and run. That was very difficult for me! He said that this would help us on passing people on a turn. After that we did ab's and some leg work outs. Then we all cooled down and stretched. It was a very fun practice, but a little challenging. I hope tomorrow is just as fun!
