run faster

With the weight loss I’m experiencing, I’ll be running faster in no time. I already feel like there’s less resistance on me and I’m running pretty fast. It’s just that whole pain thing and it’s hard to regulate my breathing, especially during a race. Running is pretty much hell, and I don’t even know why I do it.

If you ask me why I do track, I could never be able to give you a straight answer.

I’ve been working hard in practice and have also been dropping weight and I’ve been running a faster race lately. I’ve been also playing a better mental game as well, channeling my thoughts to my legs and making my legs pick up faster to get to the finish line.

I had a couple pretty good races today. They felt good. =]

More weight lost = faster races

Need to get there.

I strided on my toes. Or is that strode? Anyway…

We had to do these 12 laps thing where we sprint the gym and jog the exterior. Well I’ve learned how to stride on my toes. Now I just need to pick up the speed a little bit more and actually remember how to do this when I run in a meet next time.

I’m excited to beat my PRs.

I desperately want to be faster. I can run fast, but running fast won’t win you the race.

I battle with myself mentally before a big race. I can’t go with the “Just run it” attitude or else I won’t run fast enough, I’ll just run it enough that I’m going hard. But I want to push myself to the maximum each race.

Not just running to run. Track is competitive and I want to make it that way.

I know I have the ability to do it now, I just can’t at the moment.
