Morale boost status: successful

I had what was probably the best meet of the year today. It's not because of the times, the 25 points I scored, or even our totally killer 4x4. No, I realized today that it's time to get my ass in gear. Okay, my times have not been very bad thus far; however, they aren't the greatest either. I've worked in practice, but I'm not getting the same feeling I got two years ago. There are no workouts anymore where I feel total pain on the last set or two of intervals. It's my fault. That is what I realized today: I've let my mental edge slip quite a bit. Well it's time to put a stop to it. The next few workouts I'm gonna see what I can really do. I have to see what I can do. Sectionals feel like they are far away yet I know they aren't and I do not like to be disappointed. That's the one thing I love about running. There is no one else to blame but yourself for failure and that is what I find to be the single greatest motivating factor. I have to take off. Sorry about all the running crap in this post; I just have to vent about it sometimes. ~ Rich
