Today was a fun day to run, when martin told me that we were going to run 4 600ds i about fainted,,,but as the case was we ran 6 400ds,,,well unfortunately in my case i only ran five...but i was close =]. the first 400 felt amazing i loved the feeling the second was tougher but i knew i could make it ran the second one faster as it should have been. The third i went arround the same time as my second but it was the fourth that totally killed me. i was going strong on the first 200 but then the tank just felt empty and i had this weird sensation in my tummy and all i could think on that last 200 was OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! and dread spread through my body. instictively i slowed down and i hated that feeling so much that i tried to lengthen and quicken my stride, it worked a bit on the last 50 meeters.

I scratched my 5th one to rest not so much my legs but my mind, i had to prep up and pump up the phsyche to finish strong on the last 400. as the group finished the fifth i was ready and determined, liz gave the go ahead to begin and so i took off, a bit on the preservative side still but as i began the second 100 meters i sped up, thinking this is the last one, as i finished that one hundred i began to feel that feeling and that little voice on the back of my head telling me to slow down...i listened to it but did not obey then it nagged saying stop, i became angry because this little voice made no sence, the last 100 gabe passed me and that made me even more angry (in a good way since we have a small rivalry going) so i stepped up i snuck up behind him and raced through to the finish line finishing the last four an inch behind gabe. i felt proud for having gone against the stupid annoying voice that has had a hold on me for the past years.

I may run a 400 time trial tomorrow to see where i stand complete 400 race pace time. I must admit that the 400ds work out has helped me boost the confidence i have in myself and mentally and phisically. i never thought i would be saying this but...Thank you =]
