Not really how I wanted the season to end. But I don't think there is much sense in dwelling on it now. I don't know. I went out well, 6:04 first mile and then still on pace at 1.5 in. After that I guess I just got really tired and definitely started feeling that 10k in my legs, although I was still feeling alright mentally (probably in comparison to the 10k). Closed in 19:52. I guess we all kind of peaked a few weeks ago at Winthrop.
Regardless, I think these next few months without seriously racing will treat me very well mentally. I am really sick of racing right now. I'm excited for the extra time this upcoming week without practice to sleep and study. I'm also super excited for XC training in a few weeks, and the idea of XC in general. Yay for no more laps. Also, it really is a blessing to be able to run and learn through this sport more about how weak I really am and how much I need God. So even though I just feel rather weak and a little demoralized right now, I also feel like times like these are super prime spiritually speaking. I'd like to think more about that this week and use this break mentally as much as physically to rejuvenate and see running as a blessing and as fun.
