Failure makes me work even harder.

AM- Ran with the boyz out by dixie rock on a trail that we went on once for trail thursdays.  It was a good run, had a bit of bowel issues but it felt better than I have before when I have had bowel issues.  We then went by the hospital and ran around the temple a couple of times and then ran a couple of strider on the park nearby.  I really felt pretty good on this run and can't wait for the next race.

PM-  3 I ran 10 min after I ate so I began to have cramps and really didn't run that fast, but it still felt alright.

AM- It was good except right at the beginning I had to tie my shoe and when I started to catch up a shocking pain went through my thigh...but weird thing is it doesn't hurt anymore.

PM- 7x800m.  It was not my best workout....I felt dehydrated, fatigued, and mentally all over the place.  I started out good-ish but then on the last three I found myself struggling to get my legs moving and really just not in it mentally.  The heat may have played a role, but I have been doing so good lately at workouts I can't see why I could't just push through it.  I really need to work on finishing workouts and getting my legs moving the right speed even when they are dead.

AM- 3

PM- 12x400 w/ D.I. warm and cool.  It was a pretty solid workout! I worked on not panicing when I am behind devo and michael at the beginning and just tucking behind them.  It worked really well, because Devo really had solid last 200m so I just went with him!  The hard part was the wind was either pushing with us and against us.  I really liked how I did tho! Always room for improvement but a good step to building confidence in myself and my abilities!  I have always known that I have had potential and could be great, but I have always been affraid for no reason but failure.  Not to sound conceded, but I really felt like I was amazing my freshmen year and I was! and then I started putting pressure on myself and began analyzing EVERYTHING!  I just need to go back to the real drive of running...PASSION!  None of this analyzing crap...I do enough of that and I don't need more! I am well aware of what I need to do and my body knows so when I need to do it, it will come to me naturally and subconsciously! It's like breathing...If you think about it consciously, it seems a lot harder than it is!!  Wow...that was a good off the top of the head comparison...haha.  Time to go all naturale (just with running tho ;) and run with passion and desire to be the best!!!!

AM-3

PM- 5 w/ striders.  I felt good today it was a pretty fun run.  Tomorrow I am gonna listen to coach and just run my heart out.  Sometimes, oh I mean, constantly, I analyze and over-analyze everything.  I noticed that while I try to run fast I analyze my form, breathing, fatigue, and even mental slip-ups (ironic i know).  I even caught myself analyzing why I analyze myself!!! hahaha true story bro.  (or sis. but I highly doubt I am cool enough to have one of them reading this haha).  I really just need to do what I need to do and race my heart out.  It's coming closer to the end of the season and I haven't even got use to track races really yet!!! TOMORROW IS D-DAY!!!!! Here I come fascist cedar nonbelievers.  Ha sorry I am in a weird mood today...haha

1600m- 4:47 it was a decent race.  I had it in me to go with mike but everytime I tried I either got stuck in the first lane or cut off or ran into, but when I finally had a chance I had no juice left.  It was a decent race, the wind played a big factor.

3200m- 10:25 it was a strong race, but due to the weather I didn't qualify.  For sure next race and I think that I can qualify by a distance if I play my cards right.

Nice run in the ran.  We only had five because we were suppose to have a race today.  I felt good and really felt nice outside.
