Mr. Kennedy took us all to the Man Hill today. I was expecting it to be bad, but I never imagined it would be as bad as it was. It was SO steep, and rocky and half the time I felt like I was walking. We did a total of 4 hills, with pushups in between with our feet up on logs. That's when we got attacked by mosquitoes. I did ok on the first two hills, but on the last two I lost focus and was very negative. I'm kind of disappointed in how I did and feel like I probably could have pushed myself harder. I'm glad it happened though because now I know what to work on in future workouts. I need to stay positive and not worry about who has a faster PR. I can't be apathetic or passive when I workout and race, and I can't settle in because when things start to hurt I tell myself I'm satisfied with a less than mediocre performance. I'm going to set higher goals for myself in my upcoming workouts.
