Ran at Calvin college today. Pretty good race overall. I definitly ran better thatn I ran at Sudek partly from the fact that I didn't have a race that Tuesday. Still prpbably not where I'd like it yet. My legs felt tired at about 1.5 miles and I'd really like to move that into at least mile 2 at the pace I'm running. I managed to stave off the mental let down till mile 4 this time and Ethan Tere and Nick defintiyl helped to break me out of my mental funk at that point. Thanks guys. My last mile wasn't as fast as last week and I didn't really kick as hard as I'd like. I still feel like I'm convincing myself every race that I can run those extra 2 miles at the pace I am. In the middle of the race I was close to group 2 and I shoule have made an effort to grab that pack and I didn't which ticks me off and something I should definitly do next time. It really would have only taken 30 seconds of hard effort and then I'd have been in a much better position for the rest of the race. Saw the Dipre's and The GH Kelly's and Nicklas from Germany which was really cool. Long bus ride but other than that an okay day. The 6 freshman in the race had were all within 40 seconds of each other which is really encouraging for the future for us.
