Failure makes me work even harder.

AM- 3 easy artic circle

PM- 2x1200 2x1000 3x800 It was a good start and the finish felt terrible.  The first 2 1200m were alright and so was the 1000's but the 800m I really had bowel troubles and really had nothing in my legs.  I think I need to eat more and drink a lot more water.  It was a poor finish to the workout but you can't win them all.  I'm not saying I have an excuse, but I'll bounce back and wendsday really nail the workout no matter how tired I am.

AM- 3 easy. felt good.

PM- Warmed up for the 1600m but I don't think I warmed up enough because I was really tight. I think I need to warm up A LOT more.  I didn't position myself very well at the beginning and got caught in the back.  The second lap I died to the very back and just held on until the last lap and ended up taking last in the fastest heat.  I think I need to believe more and really just go for it...I am so scared of failing that I end up coming short of what I want to do anyways.  As I heard once "I never said it was going to be easy, but I said it'd be worth it."  Like Coach Holt said I need to accept the pain, I need to know before the race starts that its gonna hurt and push past it and accept it.  I am gonna take that not only into races but into workouts...I have been too complacent in my head while running fast.  I almost try to find a reason to give up.  I think I can work hard this week and really prove what I am really about at DHHS Invite!  I am ready to do what I have been waiting.

I warmed up for the 600m after watching a good showing by Mike and Tyson in the 3200m.  Then I raced in the same heat as devin and jason, which was pretty nice.  I started out a little slow because I was cautious of what I was doing cause I haven't raced that before.  The first lap I held my position really and the second lap (at the beginning) I slowly moved up then, the last 100m, I kicked a little but not all out ( I know I am suppose to but mentally I am scared for some stupid reason). I think I need just to take a chance and grow a pair and go for it.  Get some guts.  Now I don't want to go crazy and try to sprint a 1600 but I will have to go up to where I am suppose to be...by Michael.  I am gonna work on my quick feat while still driving my knees and stick on michael.
