Track 2014 in Review:
I did not have a very good track season. I came in with some high expectations but just couldn't get myself even close to those expectations. It wasn't because my goals were too high and impossible. I was actually in some decent shape and I had a lot of speed and talent. After all, my last Kosmin predicted my mile time to be 4:33. The talent, the strength, and the speed was there but the hard work wasn't. I had a horrible winter training and once track rolled around it didn't get much better. I couldn't hit hardly any workouts and so it isn't hard to see why the season ended up like it did. I came in looking to State Qualify but I ended not even able to break 4:50. This track season has ultimately just been one big failure. I shouldn't be so negative about it though because you learn so much more from failure than you ever will from success. Failing isn't a bad thing as long as you learn from it and use it to improve yourself. I once heard that failure is not falling down but refusing to get back up. I can tell you right now that I am going to get back up and I'm going to use this to help me have an awesome cross season. So Track really wasn't a failure for me but a stepping stone to something greater.
