Good effort today. Found myself excited to workout and excited to race tonight! Strong kick today made sure to not let kip pass me. HR to 29 on the intervals. I’m rereading deena kastor’s book and really embracing what she says. Restarted my gratitude journal last night.

Today I was getting all excited for the race and embracing the experience, but once the gun went off my mind went into panic mode. I am glad I ran it because it was telling of where I am mentally with racing. The first lap was a constant battle between "I feel bad, I don't want to do this, why am I so far behind the other women?" and "this is what I want, eyes up and be competitive, don't think, just go." The second lap was better my eyes were up and I was working on running down the people ahead. There points where I wanted to back off but would tell myself "This is where it matters. 5 quick steps." I felt like I was working hard but the legs weren't moving fast. Feeling emotional afterwards and also need to refocus on my goals.

“The main way to learn is by falling flat on our face, just as we did when we first learned to walk. Our parents may tell us a million times not to touch that hot stove, but it’s only after we actually burn ourselves that we really understand why it’s not such a great idea.” -Kristen Neff
