My sub-19 is officially not a fluke! Although I would like to go at least a full second under at some point. At WDF I ran 18:59.89 and today I ran 18:59.45.  A PR is a PR, right?

Some FSU girls came out today who I knew were fast, so I knew it was going to be a tough race. My first two miles were 6:02 and 6:04, so I thought I was going to run a really good time. I fell back the last mile, and the couple of hills didn't help, so I ran something around 6:15 or something like that.  I was in second for a little (for most of mile 2) but it didn't last. Maybe I am getting selfish, but I would really like to run a 18:58. 18:59 isn't as exciting as it used to be.

They gave out free skin cancer screenings and I have one they think I need to get removed. Boooo. I knew that was going to happen though.

Great race! I am glad to hear that you did awesome. Plus, you got a PR, and that is even more awesome. I would say have an extra scoop of ice cream, but you have a race next weekend. Anyway, Great job.
