Well that walk absolutely pooped me but I raised like $70 I think. I ended up running for 1:06:10...15 laps and at 0.64 miles a lap, that's 9.6 miles...at a 6:53 pace. I started a bit fast but from the start to the end, my pace per lap went down about 20 seconds.<br>
Well I knew I wasn't going to have the super meet I was hoping for, I was just fatigued. Went out way too fast the first lap, and then relaxed too much on the second. 1:16, 1:24, 1:23, 1:22 (5:26), 1:21, 1:22, 1:22, 1:18 (5:24). The opponent absolutely crushed me, by about 200m I'd say...I really hope he sticks with his plan of not running the 3200m at Regionals though. I also really hope that with a fresh set of legs on Monday that I'll be down in the 10:30s again. Oh ya...total time 10:50 for 2nd place...I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm disappointed with my time, even though I am almost certain it was from the hard miles earlier that day that slowed me down. I wouldn't say I'm depressed, but it definitely dampered my view of Regionals I have going on in my head, even though I know I shouldn't let it...I just want to not feel so tired.<br><br>
You are definatley a runner through and through - Stop being a head case - You run 9 sub 7 miles and then are a little flat for a meet a few hour later - Peeking is a mental and physical thing - You ran a 10:50 after running 9 sun 7 miles - I still believe that you can run a 10:2x at regionals - you are a 5 star lock for a 10:3x, but I know when rested you will accept the pain to outperform.<br><br>
Read it! - Believe it! - Do it!<br><br>
Then after track season - sluff off and put on 15 pounds so I can beat you at Pittsville.
