We are who we choose to be.

PM- 1.5 warm/cool, 800m race, 2x300m allout. I was kind of hesitent about today because I haven't ran an 800 since last year, but I knew I was going to PR for sure because my last year PR was a 2:28ish. Ran it and really slowed down from my first to second laps (about a 1:07 to a 1:14) but I got a PR anyways of 2:21. Not particularly proud of my time, but I'll get better as time goes on. I was more proud of my 300s though. I ran a 47 and a 48 and stuck right with Andrew on both of them. 

I think I am developing some sort of sickness because my heart rate has been racing all day today and especially during my workout. I have also been feeling congested. 

PM- 4 miles easy w/4xsunrise hills. Felt pretty sore today from yesterday's brutal workout. Ran my first 2 hills pretty good, but the last 2 were not my best performance. My last one especially was kind of crappy. I had a horrible cramp today though and also felt like i was going to throw up again today. It's the strangest feeling.

PM- 3 miles easy and then striders down my street. It was so so cold this evening and I thought I was going to die of frostbite but other then that, it was a pretty easy run.

PM- 4 miles easy Washington, 4x200s. Felt really cold this afternoon, but it was a really fun run! on the 200s I started out doing pretty good on the first 2, my 3rd one was okay but then my last one was just awful. I just can't seem to get the final part of my workout done lately. I've been reading Elite Minds which has given me a ton of ideas with mental toughness that I tried out today and surprisingly helped I think. I'm expecting at least a top 20 performance from me at Footlocker and I hopefully will use some of the techniques I have been reading.

PM- Warmed up on the course to make 3 miles.

Race- Warmed up 1.5 miles with Andrew, Jake and Skylar. We went to the start line and did some stride outs. I was feeling really good about today but it didn't exactly show in my race. I was hoping for at least a top 40 finish, but I ended up in 63rd. I think that my problem was that I was worrying about the hills too much when I wasn't at a hill part so I tried to "conserve" my energy when I should have just gone. My first mile was pretty quick but so was everyone's. I stayed about the same placewise for the whole second mile (was passed by some guys but I passed about the same amount) On the last mile, I passed a good amount of guys but I still didn't get my goal placewise. PRd the course by 2:30 since last year so that's GREAT! Now I just need to improve the same amount of time for next year haha.
