I am so excited to compete at the
Trials this week. I have never felt so
good this late in the season. In college
I always felt burned out by June. I felt
pretty good last year, but I was still adjusting to the intensity of
professional training. But, I can tell
my legs are ready to go for this week. I
felt like I was flying during my last two steeplechase work-outs, and I had to
hold back a little bit. I hope
everything comes together, and my body and mind are able to go on Monday for
prelims.
I’ve been doing a good job of
staying calm during the past few days, but now that I’ve landed in Portland,
I’m getting nervous. I’ll have to keep
myself busy so I’m not worrying about the race.
It shouldn’t be a problem with so many cool runners to hang out with.
