Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Mp. mile@ 7:06 pace felt hard:( Man I need some serious help, I have decided that i need to work on my Mental game and have been reading In pursuit of excellence but failed at it today. Baby step I guess. Ran to the mouth of the canyon where I met julie E and Melanie to do a tempo with them, stayed with them for 3 miles and then just let them go. I don't know why, i just tell myself that it's okay i'm not feeling good. But i need to just stay with them.

ummmm It's hard to stay up with them. I do the same thing. Something mental about that....I will slow down and then stay the same distance from them the rest of the way. What does your book say about that??? I think we need to run together....I ran my best half when I didn't have any of my friends in the race...yes it was downhill but it was mentally freeing being there to run my own race. My Mt Nebo 1:19 is equivalent to 1:23 at Hobble creek...and I couldn't run up with Jane and Kim...I had a cold but that was no excuse....I have mental issues racing friends SERIOUSLY!!! I am not just saying this. I have had this problem since high school track. So Walter suggested I read the book he told you to read. I saw him at the Thanksgiving half today. It should help us. I think we are running against ourselves so we shouldn't put pressure on ourselves.

I know you have the ability to do it, I think your mind plays tricks on you. You are. Very talented runner! You need to sign up for some no-name low key races and show up with zero expectations and zero knowledge of your competition. I think you will run out of your head fast because your mind won't be telling you you shouldn't be. A crazy theory I know, but honestly my best races have come when I had very low expectations for myself. You can do this. You are a fast runner, and you have so much potential you haven't even scratched the surface of your abilities.
