Personal:

I started running while I was in 8th grade for Jr. High track, and then I joined the Syracuse High Cross Country team as a Sophomore and I have ran almost every day since then except on Sundays. I got patella femoral pain syndrome after my sophomore year of Cross Country and I was injured on and off until my senior year. I am now about to finish up my senior year of Track.

Well I admit that I wasn't in the best mood but that isn't what stopped me from running slow today. I know that I did my best effort that I was capable of doing and that is all that matters. I did what I came out to do and was hoping for some big P.R's this season, but there is a thing called time, and time is what stopped me from getting those. I did everything I was suppose to for that day, but working on the Napoleon Dynamite dance the day before may have prohibited me from running faster. I had two bruises on my knee that I think was from learning that dance. I ran smart and gave it all that I could do. My legs were hurting a lot and I could feel the pains from my knee energy and I knew from many past experiences if I tried to run faster my legs would just hurt even more and would seriously slow me down. I cooled down afterwards, and was sad but I knew that there wasn't anything I could have done that day to get a faster time and go under 5 for one last time. I seriously stretched and had sort of an ice bath for 10 minutes. The water wasn't cold enough, but it did some good. I am ready for tomorrow
