When I woke up this morning, the throat didn't hurt that bad but I had trouble breathing, especially out of my nose. It was also apparent that my resting heartrate was pretty high and I had a slight fever with a headache throughout the day. the race itself was alright. It was completely my fault. I could have won this race but I made my move too early. Chas and Chenoweth took it out pretty fast - our first lap was a 61. We passed the mile in 4:24 so the pace was exactly where I wanted it to be. But the lap after, I felt the need to take the lap for no reason. I started panicking and I really couldn't breathe well. Maybe it was mental, but I wasn't feeling good. Chenoweth passed me with 700 to go and I couldn't go with him. He gapped me by 6 seconds in the end. It was an embarassment. I will not let this happen again. I'm ready to go sub 8:10. I must get top 3 at Heps no matter what. I will do it. Believe. No one has worked fucking harder than me and once I start sharpening up and backing down the mileage, I'm gonna be a different runner. I just gotta believe in myself.
