Still no morning run drivers ed again.

Well we did our usual half mile warm up and my legs were definantly protesting to that. Then we did our mile warm up to start our minutes. Coach had us do 6 minutes and then stary the time trial to see who would take the last varsity spot. I really wanted to take it but I found my problem in raxing is starting out too fast. I used to slowly pass everyone and now I try and get up front fast I am hoping to change that. First two laps were ok but I felt pretty poopy though as well and the third lap was worse. Reed, Jake and Colton all beat me in that order. My best part of the race was my finishing kick. I really wanted to beat Colton so after he passed me at about a 200 left I knew what I wanted so I started to speed up. But I realized that wasnt enough so I sped up again, and again, and again, soon I was going faster than I thought I could have ever gone at the end of the race. Of course when I passed the finish line I couldnt stand anymore and just fell over but then coach told me to stand up and I surprised myself by doing so then he helped me walk around a bit. Today I learned that no matter the consequences if I set my mind to do something like speeding up at the end of a race I can do it I just have to believe that I can.
