AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Just a chill run.
PM - 5.75 miles. Race. I didn't really take a whole lot of time preparing mentally for this race but I think that is what helped me race so much better today. I think my biggest problem this year is I get so worried about everything. I get worried about who I should beat, how I should race, how fast I should go, and on and on and on. So today I just didn't really worry about anything and just went out and had fun. I got out pretty quick today and into 2nd place which was weird because it didn't feel that fast. I guess it was probably because the beginning was down hill. Once we came back up hill is where I really started to struggle a bit and people started passing me. I stayed relaxed though and kept pushing pretty hard the rest of the race and finished pretty strong. Good race.
