finally =]

One good workout has finally made its way out of me. I ran great this morning and I wish I would've ran a little bit faster. We had 4x800's , 1x1200, 3x600's. I wasn't looking forward to it...at all haha. But when I realized we were training on the track today, I kind of got pumped. I love track! It reminds me of the "glory days". I didn't realize what that meant until now. Coming into college I knew I wouldn't win meets like I did in high school. I knew it was going to be a big transition and I'd have to work really hard to create new glory days, but I had no clue how much slower I was than all my other competitors.
Soon enough I was starting to get into great shape; until I got tonsillitis. It sucked :( Since then I grew lazy. I didn't run over the summer like I should have and I'm paying the price for it. I just couldn't get motivated. It was like I was scared of something that was once my passion. Chris got me a book called Once A Runner. It stayed on my dresser for the rest of the summer. I couldn't even open it. It was so intimidating. I knew I'd feel even worse reading it because I hadn't been putting my all into my training. I have yet to read it, but it's time for that to change. I'm pretty sure I'm going to start reading it as soon as I can. I need to get through this mental barrier I've made. At least I got through it a little bit today. One day at a time.
