Today I ran, for the first time, all 3 (800, 1600, 3200). I feel like a wimp saying this because I know some runners do that every meet...but it was so hard for me. I don't know... I was just absolutely exhausted - maybe mentally even more than physically - by the 2 mile. My 800 went fine, I placed 3rd with a 2:39 which is 2 seconds off of my PR. 1600 went fine also, I placed 2nd with a 5:49 which is 6 or 7 seconds off my PR. My 3200 was absolutely terrible though. I had an awful mindset going into it ("ehh, maybe I'll just tempo it?") and it showed. I ran a 12:48 or something, which is the second worst time I've ever ran the 2 mile in. I'd like to think that was just because I had never done it after already having ran the mile and 800...but honestly I think I just sucked and that's all there is to say. I'm so glad this meet is over. I'm a little pissed and ready to go get better tomorrow.
