AM- Warmed up 3 miles but felt sore. This race I started out well...but a little farther back then I should've. Then the second mile I let the leaders get away because I was in cruise control...again. I am going to push myself out of this comfort zone and really just go for it next race. I feared I was going to die off if I started out too fast. But I did catch Kyle Eagen of Canyon View at the end. I know I can go harder, but this was an improvement from last race. I lost to both the Cedar and Canyon View kid last race. I think I will do a lot better next race, because this was just a good learning experience. Sometimes I think I expect it now, but as the MLK Jr. saying goes..."
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." So, I took another step. I don't need to jump the whole staircase either...so I took another step...and maybe next time I'll take 3 steps ;) haha.
Positives:-I ran consistent
-I ran a good last mile
-I didn't fold mentally
Things to fix: Be with the leaders after 1/2 mile in.
