Personal:

My mother forced me to start running as a freshman in high school.. and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually ended up liking it. Graduated from Pine View High School in 2013 and, after a yearlong hiatus, I am now running again, this time for USU, where I'm working on a composite Elementary Ed/Deaf Ed major.

So, I was all set to run the mile this morning, but Coach switched me into the Medley (hallelujuah!). But I was given instructions to really push myself out there, and I had to really work. So I was much more nervous today than last night. But I got my inhaler beforehand, which was nice, because I think it helped while I was running. Anyway, when I got the baton, we were in first by a ways. So the only thing going through my mind was to keep the lead. And run a 1:10 first lap, like Coach Gilmore told me to. So, I went out and did just that.. and then I started my second lap. I hit a wall like I never have before. I couldn't move. Everything was so tight and wouldn't work right. So the Box Elder girl passed me in the last 200 meters, and I felt like I could do nothing about it. I just couldn't keep up. So, no worries, I just ran a 1:25 second lap. 10 seconds slower than yesterday. I felt so bad, cause Liz, Alyssa and Janzen all did what they were supposed to do. But.. I'm gonna do workouts this week. And hopefully improve.
