Bad day. And I could have done this workout better when I was a freshman, not exaggerating. I'm out of shape.

I got a medal and we got a trophy so no complaints. I wanted to take 5th or maybe 4th but I'm happy. I will run faster at state, I just need to concentrate on building up to it, getting more intense and when it come giving it my all. I feel like I haven't been racing hard enough lately, but I've been doing better. My goal to run sub 16:00 at state still stands. And I'm going to do it, I believe in myself. Today I didn't race well, I didn't beat all the people I should have, but I'm happy. It's probably the only cross country meet I will get a medal in so I'm just enjoying it. But at state, there will be no complacency, this is the meet I care most about, it matters more than any other race. I'm going to run as hard as I can and I hope that means sub 16:00.

Morning run with the team, I meant to go on a run when I got home from all the wedding activities, but it was almost midnight and I was dead tired, plus I had to get up at 7 for a breakfast with family at that place the Olympians stayed in 2004. So I'm still very tired, I'm going to take a nap and do a 12-15 mile run. Region 4 championship results are just scary. I think it's possible that I could finish 14th at the state championship, I will have to run one heck of a race, and beat some people I'm not a favorite to beat, but I believe it's possible. I don't know if  sub 16:00 is a smart goal for me at state, 16:20 would be more believable based off my results so far. But I'm not giving up on my goal, I made it a long time ago and I won't back down from aiming for it.

Felt GREAT! Ran somewhere in 6 minute pace for the whole run, the two speedometers I passed said 8, and 9.
