pm: workout today! 2 warm and cool with a time trial of 2000 meters at basically race pace, then after 3 min rest we did 2x1000's. Goal was to hit 2:48 average. time trial i hit a 5:38 (2:45, 2:54) which felt solid but hard. not very nice splits cause i went way to fast on the first 1000, but i hit the time right on that i wanted.

pretty tired after but i still recovered nice and threw down a 2:46 and a 2:45 which i'm alright with. on the last one i was shooting for a 2:43 but i went to slow at first. overall pretty good start of the week.

am: did our workout in the morning since halloween is tonight. workout was a michigan. 2sets of it. i felt really good on this workout and really just ran at a solid pace. casey and byrun is amazing and stayed with me the whole time! i was really excited that every time they started to fall off at all, they would just surge right back up!

pm: easy 3, 2 of which was grass.

afternoonish: so after the tour and recruiting trip ended at about 3 i decided to go out for a run to make up a bit for yesterday. so i went and ran a mile loop, then did 2x200's and finished the rest of the milage with SUU's girl team because they happened to be running at the time. that was pretty fun.

pm: did 5 more with the team that night with a couple fartlik's. felt pretty good.

so i got to the race about 8, and we did 4 laps around the course for 4 miles, a little longer warm up then we usually do. and i used the bathroom and got to the starting line. did a few striders and got ready.

the race started and i got out pretty good and felt confident. i was in the top 5 or so and just stayed with kramer for the first mile (5:10) it felt a little slow but i just stayed behind everyone..then it happened. i just stopped pushing and i fell very far behind. after that i just gave up and hated it. so i just ran. after the 2nd lap (10:41) jason quinn, the kid that get 2nd in our region, came up on my back and i just frowned, cause i haven't been beat by anyone from my region all year and when i saw he was right behind me i already said in my mind i was defeated. but for some reason he didn't pass me. he just stuck on my back till the last 100meters. i tried to hold him off and made a little gap, then decided i was too tired and let him pass me and lost.

So this was pretty sad. i just went into it not thinking how i usually have before races. i just haven't been believing that i could stay up with these guys that i've been with all season. i really need to get my act together or i'm not going to nationals!

goal: #1 if i give it my all in practice, it will be easier to give it my all at races. #2 get my mind set right and take care of my body better. #3 Beleive that i can.
