Did a couple miles at a time at the byu meet, and then premeet back at the school. 2x200m, 29 and 28. My legs actually feel good and responsive today, so that was freaking fantastic! I think I know why, and bare with me here.

I've been going to a psychologist for the past couple months to kinda get in a better mindset for racing and just life in general, and I went again yesterday, and the lady asked how my legs felt and I was like, pretty tired, but it's fine. Then she was like well take the next minute or so and pay attention to your legs and see what they have to tell you. And I was like what the heck? Listen to my legs? Lol so I concentrated real hard and the more I "listened" to my legs the less tired they felt. Then she was like what did you notice? Then I said that I should probably wear compression tomorrow and they actually feel better, but my quads still feel pretty spent. Then she told me to concentrate and think about them. So I did, and I kid you not. They started feeling fresh. Like what on earth is happening. So.... Listen up kids, your mind can do incredible things. Freaking listen to your body.
