Rough day, I realized yesterday that no matter what happens and no matter what goes wrong, its your attitude that determines how you do in a race. Today I ran hard, not the best race, but I made a brave move with 500m to go from last place to the front. I should have cut the guy off and held my momentum at the front but I stepped back to avoid that and the last 200m I got passed by a couple other guys. Bad feeling when I saw the time on the screen. I'm not done with track though, next week I'm going to run sub 2:00 by a large margin. I will be fresh, it will be sunny, I wont have to run in lane 2 and 3 for half the race, I'm going to run a very fast time. After that I will keep racing the mile, I want to break Kramers MTC record of 4:31, and I want to improve my PR more if at all possible. I'm going to have a lot of fun. Its weird to think I will never race for Alta again. I've been blessed with a great coach the past few years, Coach Murphy really is one the best out there! I'm going to miss running here, I really hope USU will give me a spot on their team, I would do almost anything to keep running track. |
