OH MY GASH!! I have not been this happy in a long time! This was not my fastest race and not my best placing but I have never felt so good and so positive then I did in this race. All week I have been trying to figure out how to channel my energy and frustration and how I am supposed to race. So I came into this race really relaxed. My goal wasn't too beat anybody, my goal wasn't a certain time. My goal was to be happy with my race and myself. I usually don't like when people cheer me on and tell me what to do during a race, and I don't ever remember the stuff I tell myself to do before the race-during the race. But my head was so clear today. I just felt so good!! I made sure to start out good but not to zigzag my way through and waste all my energy at the beginning. I was going to trust myself for 2 miles and pull it in on the third, knowing I'd end up where I needed to be. It was so nice running and pushing with Josie the whole time. It helped so much. (And it's really nice when your thinking of working with your teammates instead of against them). So after the hill on the last lap I was hurting really bad, like you do in races, and I just kept saying Yes, no change in strategy. When the hurt comes you push through, and then I passed Mia and was like "what the?!" and was able to bring it in at the last stretch. Stinkin Josie passing me at the very end ;) but I am just so proud of us and we're going to state!!!
