Spring is here. Time has sprung forward. Track meets have begun. Yesterday's meet was great. Both boys and girls won, and we had a lot of first places. I did pretty well for myself, but could've been better. I have a problem with psyching myself down when one person passes me.
I'm a lot stronger this year than I've ever been. I ran during off-season, which definitely helped. Other than that though, when we leave the track and go out on the roads I surprise myself more and more. I've always been the last one in, and still am; but this year, I'm only a block or two behind rather than an entire mile. If only my shins didn't splint like cheap wood.
My cardiovascular system is superb, though. I love running. I just wish my legs were better built for it.
7 PM and it's still sunny. Bliss
