First of all I think I'm growing up. I may have finally hit puberty. I actually have hair on my chest AND my armpits stink after I run. That's an achievement. Two things that previously weren't happening with my body.
Today has been an awesome day. Probably because it started awesome. I did a 200 meter time trial today and I did not run as fast as I wanted, but after I was done I did not feel frustrated or angry but rather at peace. That's when I knew I was ready to move on. The following is my progression of 200 meter time trials:
Date Time
7/14/11 26.95
7/21/11 26.94
8/4/11 26.65
I realized that the fastest 100 meter time trial I had ever done from a standing-start was 13.03 (see my 100 meter time trial progression) so then you double that: 26.06 and that's pretty close to my fastest time today of 26.65. I feel really good about my decision to move on to Level 3: 400 meter time trials.
Now, I went for run #2 at 8:40. I went North towards Springville, then turned around and came back up a gradual hill. I felt my body start speeding up, automatically! It was sweet. Then I got a little sick from dinner, not that the dinner made me sick but I finished eating around 7:30 and ran at 8:40. Not enough time, but I'll take what I can get. Then at the end of the run I felt my body start speeding up. My form felt good. I was flying and I was sincerely feeling a TON of gratitude to[wards] God for blessing me and allowing me to run.
