AM - 10 miles up to work, easy jog. PM - 4.5 miles down to SHP. Lost in the shuffle of all this Lance nonsense is a great interview w/ Alan Webb... You know I’m trying to get the best out of myself. And if you aren’t really getting the results you want, you can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result. I think a lesson I’ve learned is that when you do get frustrated and have setbacks, it makes you ask the question, “Do I really want to do this? Is this something I like to do?” And I’ve realized that I just love the sport – I love doing it. If you are going to do go down, you gotta go down fighting. Don’t just give up. That’s what it’s all about in the end. I feel privileged to be even allowed to hang around (this training group). The dynamic with these guys is better than I could have imagined. Everyone here is very driven – everyone knows how to work hard – but these guys are really smart guys – smart form a training standpoint of knowing when to push and not to – and they can keep you accountable. That last quote is exactly how I've been feeling about our "weekend workout" group over the past couple months. I also want to share this interview with Scott Wietecha. I know him from Saucony... we met at the 1/2 champs in Duluth last summer and have become internet friends. So creepy, I know. Anyways, he ran 2:18 and was the 2nd American at Houston a couple days ago.
