AM- 3 miles easy AC because I didn't have drivers ed. I feel like I've been getting a slight cold the past couple days. Congestion and sore throat. Also been sneezing a lot.

Race- warmed up with the guys then got into the race. (NOTE: I am still feeling cold symptoms) Started out alright, but not as far up as I wanted to be. 1:10. 2nd lap was where I started to fall off. 1:19 (ouch!) 3rd lap I tried to pick it up a little but by then it was just too late. 1:18. Got passed by a few guys the last lap and I finished last in the heat 1:18. I am getting so frustrated with how my races have been going all season. Today I feel like I went out and ran a nice hard race, but my time and place tell differently. I just can't pinpoint what it is I need to change. I believe I can run faster and I know I can beat my PRs, I go to practice every day, do somewhat well in my workouts, I stretch all the time, I do yoga, I've been staying hydrated, I roll out nightly, I eat well. I've been doing everything! But I just don't seem to be getting anywhere...

Sometimes it isn't always about the physical things. There comes a time where the only way to get better is to believe you can and are going to get better. Keep working hard physically and especially work hard mentally.

Can even though this was intended for Preston. I can relate.

I think every single person can relate.

Yeah it's true, Cam. Well said.

Like button again... Sometimes when we are struggling we really do us more harm than good by trying to over-analyze everything. Sometimes, just shut it all off and run! Just run for the fun of it! Just fly for the pure shear joy of it! Burn down the track just for the hell of it!
