Today was a really rough run. I was fine on the first 10 minute tempo but as we moved into the second I knew it was gonna get tough. After a really though week negative thoughts came into my head and I was battling them the entire run. Lately i've been struggling with running and the mental battles it comes with. Stress has started to rule my life but i'm gonna fight as hard as I can and overcome this hard day.

I had lots of thoughts today during the morning run and during the race. I really was worried about not being able to go to renegade camp as coach was saying top 5 at the time trial have a for sure spot and I was 6th. That got me started on preparing for the race but the major thing that really hit me was the mini pep talk decker gave to me minutes before the gun went off. He talked about how last year I would say that my senior year will be the year I actually make a change. This really hit a cord and had my mind set on going harder when the pain hits. After every race I think about Xander and how he would be so postive during all the hard times, even tho today was an amazing day. There are gonna be hard times this season but im ready for when they come and im going to fight harder then I have ever done for my team.
