AM: 4 easy miles, I convinced my mom to let me race the 800 tonight so we'll see how that goes.

PM: 800m at the distance challenge. I started out it a good position, second place by the time the curve came right on the inside so that was great. I came through the 400 in 59, and this is where is got stupid. Hearing the split 59, the thought ran through my head, "oh you're totally good you just hit a 59" and I pulled up. Stupid stupid stupid stupid. It wasn't like I really slowed down I just didn't push myself like I could've. Then freaking Adam Wood out-kicked me in the last 100m and I was sprinting as hard as I could when I saw him out of the corner of my eye. I'm sick of him sitting and kicking by me. It all came down to that second to last 200m. Gotta work on that. But all in all it was a pretty good first 800 of the season with a PR.

Good race. I am sure you will figure things out by the time of the outdoor season. Hang in there!
