Good job on the pr, boingo!
Jonesy, what socal meets do you plan on running?
I am also sorry to hear about your meet being cancelled, Solo Joe.
My gosh, 413.99...my head is so f up. This entire week has been crap. I had my worst practice this season on Tuesday. Wednesday I was sick, and I took a day off. Thursday I was still a little sick, but decided to run an easy 4. I felt fine on Friday, but I had no idea how things were going to play out. My heart is not into running right now. During the warm up, I was trying to stay focused and cheerful, but I had no motivation. I was so burnt out.
Anyways, the race went out fairly easy. I was in second for about 800meters(65,213) feeling ok. Some guys make a surge, and I try to go with them. I fell off with about 500 to go, and my teammate passed me with 400 to go. I came through the 1200 in 321(65,68,68) and finished in 413.
I wanted to end my season, but my teammate cheered me up. He told me that this is just one race, and he felt the same way when he ran 417 2 weeks ago. You just got to put this behind you.
Saturday I went for a run, and I did not know when I was going to stop. I ended up running more than 15miles(1:49). I was running in peace. Running lately has felt more of an obligation than a pleasure, but yesterday I realized how lovely running truely is. My motivation is back, and I cannot wait until next Friday(15,8).
I simply forgot why I love running; yesterday the answer was clear.
Good luck with training!!!!
