a.m. felt good my left leg hurt last night but after rubbing it for a while it felt good. nice run although. race should be good today.
p.m. i didnt realize that is did a double today..... sweet!
well all day before the race i had horrible butterflies. i hate late races. on the warm up my right foot started to really hurt for some reason, and it never had before. i though maybe it was the new shoes, so i took them off and it felt better within 5 min. then i realized i tied my shoes too tight so that was a relief. felt good warming up and getting ready. but then since it took so dang long for them to start, i got kind of tired.
they shot the gun and the beginning was fine, a nice start and was keeping fine with devin for the first lap. then the cedar air hit me and i couldn't breath very well and i died off far on the second lap. then on the third, i got mad at myself for letting me fall behind so i pushed hard and got jarad and colton and stared casey down until the track, where i passed him. it was a pretty strong finish, but i would have broken 17 but i kind of stoped a few seconds before the finish line.
the cool down felt horrible cause i was sneezing and had a running nose really bad. but that happens every time i go to cedar so im not worried about it.
all in all, i want to get better and start moving up my milage so that i can get better, my goal this season is this catch up to devin and be able have him in sight the whole race. i going to push myself harder and be where i'm supposed to be. |
