Failure makes me work even harder.

AM- 3 nice to get the junk out

PM- 10x400m  I started out too fast and when it finally came down to guts I really gave in to fatigue.  Coach said something that I am gonna apply he said that we must just run our guts out and let him do the analyzing.  That's what I am going to do from now on...let him analyze and just put my heart into it.  I am not gonna cry about hurting or being a whimp.  I am gonna put my heart into it.  I actually ended up running the last 3 as 200m because I wasn't running as fast, or even near, what I was suppose to.  I ran the last 3 at the front and it felt pretty weird and actually good.  He told me that as soon as I thought oh it's easy (the 200m) instead I ran faster.  Another reason is I was affraid he was going to make me do more haha.

AM- 3 miles.  My hipflexor is really sore but good run.

PM- Distance medley (1200m)- It was a good first and last lap but I needed to stick with mike on the second.  Maybe even take the lead on the first lap and let mike take the second lap.  Good race though.

4x800- I ran decent...I ran really strong.  I really needed to kick on this race and last lap.

4x400- I was second of my group and was really strong even though I was tired.  I startedd to catch devo who was quite a bit ahead of me, for the first 200m but then the distance stayed the same.

Over-all:  Very good group of races for a kinda workout meet.  Excited to just run my guts out Friday!!

AM-3 easy

PM- 1600m with a warm/cool.  It was a pretty bad race.  I was in the second fastest heat ranked 6th, which ticked me off, but apparently they were not too far off.  I ended up taking around 5th in my heat with a time of 4:48.  I really had no guts when I need to go and just sat.

AM- 3200m.  I ran really great the first 5 laps! I ran with tyson for 3 then with mike buckley (ogden) for the next 2 laps.  Then, when the gut check came, I really slowed down and forgot to surge and ATTACK!  All in all I missed state by 1 SECOND!  The positives to take from this was that I ran a faster 1st mile split faster than my mile yesterday, which means I can run the mile WAY faster!  Also, I ran with tyson for most of the first mile and I didn't really hurt, actually I felt great!  I just need to surge more and pass when I need to and not settle!  I really think I can run with the big boys now if I just believe and show how much GUTS I have!  I really am gonna hit next weeks workouts and qualify in the mile and 2mile at SUU!
