Today I woke up and I was super sore because I didn't stretch very well. The warm up wasn't bad but I felt it on the Michigan and on the cool down. I didn't get anywhere near those A or B standards which didn't surprise me because I'm never close to any of those guys that actually made the standard on our workouts.
We were supposed to run 6 but we didn't know so we only ended up running four and then doing 2x400. I was still a little sore from Monday when I didn't stretch but it wasn't a terrible run for me.
Today, we ran my favorite run: Sandbergs with 4x200 afterwards. I didn't feel the best for the first two miles but I pushed through and by the time we reached Sandbergs, I felt great. The Swim was great as always but it made my legs go cold and I had to warm-up again to get going. The 200's afterwards felt weird to me and I didn't feel like I was running them as well. I hope my legs feel better tommorow.

I really liked this race. It had a lot of hills but it showed me that those hill workouts are very important. I felt great especially after my legs had been sore most of the week. I got a new PR even though this race was a little bit shorter. I really need to work on the mental part of my racing because that is the only thing holding me back from being a great runner. I felt like I ran pretty well but I really need to work on my hills just I little bit harder and use the downhills to my advantage. My finish was poor again and instead of passing anybody, I ended up getting out sprinted at the end. Our JV boys were outstanding with 5 runners in the top 10 and 7 in the top 15.
