It was nice and cool this morning, and I was feeling really good.
I ran 5000m at a comfortable pace, but a little faster than I have been doing. I ran it in 21:56.80. My ankle feels good.
Had a sit-down with my coach.
The coach asked me about my goals as a runner. For example, whether I wanted to continue running competitively at the university level and beyond, or if I just wanted to run in high school.
I told the coach that I have decided not to run in college. I expect that my studies will keep me busy and I want to concentrate my time on my studies. I hope to run for fun and excercise but not competitively.
We had a good talk about what kind of training will be expected of me.
I still don't have the best Japanese, so I think that is what we mainly talked about. The conversation was mainly one sided, with the coach doing most of the talking and me doing a lot of nodding of my head. :)
