I WON THE MILE!!!!! I'm so glad! I ran a tough race and had to work hard to win. I ran smart and gave it my all. My problem is that if I start loosing a race I give up, I need to stop doing that and just do my best. Luckily I was able to win today, it was really hard but I'm very glad I did it. I'm getting faster again. I was having a lot of asthma problems and I forgot to bring my inhaler so I was still really dead by the 800m, no points haha. Also I'm in the slow heat of the 3200m and still having asthma problems so I think I should call it a day, go home and run 4 miles easy. Good meet! Need to race like I did today every day, giving it my all.

Oof, really tired. But I'm so happy I won!!! I was so tired I didn't do all 4 miles, I ran 2.3 and then walk jogged home because i was going to just lie down and sleep somewhere if i didn't haha. I want to run sub 4:30 before the big invitationals start. Today we went out at 68, slower than I usually do. I think I'm running the 3200m at Alpha before the 1600m so I want to break 10:00, maybe even a little more. Then in the 1600m I will try to get under 4:35, it will be a good hard meet!

Blake, GREAT JOB!

I knew you had it in you.

I know what you are going through with the asthma. I get it bad after every hard race.
