Afternoon- 3 miles easy at the state course. IT band didn't hurt too bad, but had a little fire in it.
Race- Really didn't get a warm up in, because they changed the schedule, but did some stride outs, and was tough to get out. I had really no energy today, due to lack of sleep. But I took out alright. Mid pack placing. Once starting out, I was stuck there for about the first mile, and people were just passing me left, and right. But first mile 6:42. Way slower than excepted. Legs were not moving at this point, and I got pretty down on myself mentally... But there was still much too race. And I then came by the 2nd mile without knowing really at 12:32. So my pace speed up, and I really don't know what happened from here. Everything got all blurry, and the legs were tired for some odd reason... But I just kinda jogged in the race. Nothing special, just a fininsh. I did not reach even the potential I had.... I have to start doing that. My IT band hurt a little, but not much. But I just have to keep working hard, and trust the program.
