I just wanted to cry when I came around the corner at the end and saw the clock had 35 minutes on it. In fact I did cry. I want to break 30 so so so so so bad, that's what I've been working for all summer, that's what my goal has been since midway of sophomore season, when I feel like stopping or turning around early at practice I would imagine how proud and excited I would feel when I saw my time reading 29:58. and now I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get it. I would have to cut off 5 minutes, I was looking at the list afterwords and saw how many people I would have to beat to have had my time be where I wanted it. I would have had to have beaten about 20 more people. I felt awesome while running, which just means I couldn't have gotten better. Now with the play, I don't have the time to do what it takes to cut off those last 5 minutes.

Curls is right. Hang in there.

After reading your report, I feel like your lists of negatives is growing. Lighten the burden on yourself and focus on the positive--you felt awesome out there today. Often, one consistent thought makes all the difference in a day. That's why we must be mindful of making our thoughts positive.

Finally, I thought you looked strong out there today.
