AM - 9 miles. Desert Hills Invite 2015 800m. Wow. I really have never run a very good 800. I got out in 62 or 63 today and I still couldn't close. On paper, I should be a very good 400/800 runner and in reality, I'm little more than JV quality. It takes guts to run solid in the 400 and 800 and I just haven't been able to use any guts when I do either one of these races. I know I am capable of State Qualifying but I'm just not there mentally. I need to work on getting out a little quicker in order to be able to State Qualify but the major thing I have to work on is that last lap. I really need to work on picking it up from 400 to 500 meters because that is usually where I lose it. I think that is my make or break point in the 800.
