Am:very talkative morning run. Really nice. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pm: race.. first time running the mile all season. It was okay.. I have mixed feelings about the outcome. I ran the first lap with Kamryn. Then I just kind of fell off of her and kind of ran my own pace.. I didn't really go with anyone. I was doing fine mentally until about halfway through the second lap, when someone yelled to me that I was settling and I needed to pick it up. At that point I was only a few feet behind Kamryn and some random Hurricane girl who just ran up out of nowhere after the first lap. But after they said that, my brain just kind of quit. I was really angry at them for saying it. I know it's way stupid, but I hate it when people besides coach or my parents cheer for me like that. I don't even know why. I'm fine if they say 'good job' or whatever, but I hate the stuff like 'don't settle' or stuff like that. Dumbest pet peeve ever, but there it is. The rest of the race, I didn't really focus on running. I was more focused on how mad I was. I ended up 5th with a 5:43. Which isn't a fabulous time for me.. but I'm not super upset at myself about it. I'll try again. And I'll be a little more focused and not so mad.
