Sidwell Meet: the good-old days?

April 26, 2011 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: hot, sunny

Comments:
it was shacky, but it was still a voice, a quaver: I think I can...I think i can...i know i can? (as if my voice cracked on the "know")

had a long day, but got thru it with some positive energy.

open 800:
didn't really feel the greatest, but was ready to race. ran a great first lap, but then got harder to stay focused and driven. got thru it, and with a good time too (2:45). nice feeling to know how much i'm improving after my lousy 2 years of running. wanna blame it on my lucky braid (according to heather, braids are lucky), but it was just the fact that i was starting to gain some confidence and lift off some of the burden of stress. coulda easily ticked off a few seconds - if i hadn't been telling myself how much my body hurt - and wish i'd gotten mad...competitive mad i mean...mad like i wanted to win...it was too easy of a race, and i wanted some competition. but i felt good all the same.

open 200:
now that was a great race. whatever my time was, i was on. it probably helped that i knew my competition from soccer and no way was she beating me - and naturally, she didn't. dunno what my time was, but felt great.

proud of myself for not freaking out in running both open races. can finally move out and not hide behind my team in a relay. (altho i still love relays!)
