Notes

This didn't go quite according to plan to say the least. No clue how I ran this off a taper but ran 15:19 as part of a 70 mile week. Running is weird. In this case, though, I was in a much slower heat than at Bucknell (my time there would have almost won this heat). So I had that working against me plus the fact I literally waited all damn day. This was easily the latest I had raced. But despite all that, I still ran a second faster than my college pr and I had a really so-so race. That alone should show how far I've brought myself -- literally on my own. I never thought I could break 15:20 in general, let alone with a full time reporting job. This spring was ultimately a big success. The order of events was just kinda strange. But again, running can be weird. And I love it. I can't wait to start training again in 2 weeks and go after another goal.
