Another run I didn't start until past 8, and another run I had to start by telling myself it would only be 4 miles. But I got myself to do what I needed to which is what is important. Looking at last years result for the USU invitational, I want to get top 5 for the mile and 800. I know I can get a medal, assuming they give out medals. Of course last year a lot of people couldn't get to the meet because of a snow storm. But I am really excited for that meet. I did the Brighton/rec center loop and stopped at the rec center for 3 miles on the tread mill, I did 1 of them at 5:56 pace. I felt pretty good, but I guess 5:56 isn't that fast, I just wanted to see how tough it would be. Maybe next week I will do a mile at 5:00 pace or a bit faster. I also had some striders during my run, I had stomach cramps for most of the run as well.
