I'm not taking it. I had to pay for it.

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Long/progressive run at the Montour Trail, tried going 7:00/6:30/6:00 paces each 4 miles, but I ran a little quicker. Oh well, I felt pretty solid considering I'm coming off of a down week in running and a busy week in everything else.

Ran by myself, so I had some time to think about how I want to train and what I want to do for outdoor season. I realize that what I did at Conference was just a step to a higher level. The big guns weren't all in that race. That still makes me the underdog. I'm absolutely fine with that. My thoughts have always been that there's someone out there with my Conference XC t-shirt, my all-region medal, my Nationals XC jacket...its bothered me that I never got those things, but you know what, there are people with all three that don't have my UAA bronze medal. You know what else, that's not enough. I want more. I know what I'm capable of doing and I will get mine. I can't lose focus now...this is when I start working to prove to myself that I'm not a fluke. Its all in the training, if I put in the work, it will happen. I'm not stealing anything from anyone, I'm simply getting what I paid for.
