A.M: It was nice to have a short run today. We had a good pace going. We saw a dead cat and remembered morning practice times. (: I hope the race today goes okay. I want to help push the girls but I'm going to be kinda tired. And the last races I ran were up at state track and that didn't go well at all. I really really hope it all works out. And that is all I have to say at this time.
P.M: So I went to soccer practice and ran who knows how much.. then I hopped in the car and we sped up to Cedar and I got there like 15 minutes before the race. I was really nervous about burning out from having just been at soccer. Also, I had no idea how to pace. So when we started, we had a good group for about 200 meters. Then it started to spread out and Coach told us to push it harder. So we picked up the pace and Liz, Freida and Mia stuck around near us. I still had no idea what I was doing though. Then Coach told Kaylee and me just to finish the race with a strong last mile.. so we picked it up and it felt okay. I don't like playing catch-up. And Coach wanted me to make top 5 but I didn't start my kick early enough. I guess that's just something I'll have to learn from. But overall, it felt good and I was happy with it. I think my time was pretty good compared to my past ones there but I'll have to go back and check. |
