RACE REPORT-----
So I was tired, kinda, not really... I had a really negative dream last night... And I did not like it at all! But I thought to myself.... I can make my life whatever I want! So I thought of good things! And anyways.... We get to SUU. And the J.V. girls raced, and then the J.V. boys (which they kicked some other runner butt!). Like 6 IN THE TOP 10!!! But then the Varsity girls ran, and did well. But then it was my turn! And to be honest... I wanted to think negative... So I just turned off my brain! And just let my body control me! :) That explains all the yelling, screaming, and craziness! Sorry girls... I was loud.... But that's me.... And so we do warm-up. And we get to the starting line. And I just thought to myself. Just watching the J.V. boys race, that is how I will race, but faster! And so I started to get nervous. And I just turned off my brain... And by the time I know it! We are getting ready to start, BAM! The gun goes off! And I decided to go out with the frontish pack. And then make my way up. But through out the race. It went by super, super fast! And I just thought I would burn out at like mile 2 or something, and I didn't till 2.5 miles! So I am getting there! And the first mile was just fast, not speed wise, but time... Make sense? But yeah. Going up the back stretch on the last lap.... I just struggled like a beast! And I settled a lot! And I mean a lot! But I started to push the pace, and then died off... So I tried to do it again! And went a little longer... And then the 3rd and final time I go! And Jason (P.J.) Starts to come up.... And I was like yes! Someone to push me! So we go! And I honestly forgot how bad running hurts... Like racing, not the usual pain, but like your heart is pumping so hard you can't match its thumping! I was hurting like B-E-A-S-T. Or like a REAL runner! For once in my life! I actually really felt real intent pain! Like I wanted to cry almost! But I just kept telling myself GOGOGOOGo! So I go and go! And this is a really long entire again..... But Last 250 meters. I started to pick up the pace a lot. And then 150ish Jason yells, "NACHOOOOOOOO!!!!".............................................. And guess what happened! He takes off like a beast! And I attempting yelling too, but it was more like a groan.... But I decided to match his pace, and even turn it into a freshmen race!!!!! And there we go! I couldn't decide to go fists, or straight hand. So I go straight hand. Like an arrow. And just pumping my arms as fast as I can! And last 50 I start to get Jason, but by the finish line I got him! I always have a good kick! Last 100 actually.... If I had a good kick, then I would pass 5 guys the end of every race.... But I am learning! :) I felt like I ran hard, but sad, and just confused! After the race.... So I figured what the heck! Not too shabby, and not too good.... So I just moved on with it! And we took 2nd overall.... Without Mike, and Colton! Once they are back in prime shape (mainly Colton) DH is in a world of hurt in their THUNDER PANTS! MUAHAHA!!!! I feel like a champ saying that! BY-RUN That one was for you! And I learned from this race! I need to pack it in more, and go for the lead pack! Not the second pack.... But there is work to be done! Had a PERFECT week of hard work! Went to every morning, and every afternoon! Things are starting to turn out the way I want them too! I am getting results that I want! From last week to this week. I have improved a TON! But I am proud how hard I ran.1 mile cool down.
Total mileage- 7 miles!
Next week goals:
Pack it in more in work-outs.
And be positive!
