Today was USU indoor track meet. First one of the year. I wasn't really expecting to do great because I have only had about 3 weeks of training since when I first came back from mono, then getting sick with strep throat right after Footlocker. I ran both the mile and 2 mile. I wanted to p.r. in both of them because I felt like that was a reachable goal despite getting sick. When I ran the mile I was just really tight in the arms and they were hurting but I tried my best to push through. I ended up getting past by like 4 kids in the last 400 meters. My conditioning is not the greatest and when I tried to stay up with them my body was making it pretty hard to do so. I ended up getting a 4:50, but I'm not way upset about it. For the two mile most people left, so I believe there was only like 5 guys racing it. I went out with Ethan for the first 9 laps or so but I couldn't keep up the pace. My first mile was 4:57, and I finished with a 10:25. Yeah that's not good for me at all. I did fine based on my conditions. All I can do from this point is continue to gain my cardio and strength back so I'm excited to see how I do in these future meets. Great job to all my fellow Hobby Joggers. You all did great!

It seems strange that you didn't list it as a race that tells me you were not happy with it. Nice job though!

Thanks Trevor! It was good to see you there.
