Okay. You have little time but it looks like you want to do this Thursday but is sounds like your physical strength is being eroded by your tensing up. So. Let's use a little Soviet psychological edge, "by altering a person's perception, one can also alter that person's consciousness." With that said try this. It's mental and requires your attention. It is a fairly basic mental exercise so bare with me. "before this race, I want you to imagine all the people you love waiting for you on the finish line. Their faces are smiling with anticipation not because it's a race, but because they cannot wait to hold you in their arms. You need to run this distance (one mile in 4:24.0) to reach them, and if you get there quickly, you will receive their love more quickly too. Imagine that you haven't been home for several months; you will want to race as fast as you can to reach your destination." Thus your replacing your tension-producing perception of the race with an anticipatory, pleasurable experience. Try that then post back here with dialog of your success.
