My Goal

My goal is clear and set. It was the same goal I had 24 weeks ago and I will have that goal in mind for the next 28 weeks. My goal is to finish in the top 50 at the NCAA South Region Cross Country Meet. Every year runners take off at the start like a bat out of hell and struggle with the second half of the race. I hope to run a smart race from the back and move up throughout the race. If you run smarter than your opponents, then you give yourself the opportunity to beat those that you are better than, beat those that you are equal to, and beat the runners that are slightly better than you just because you ran a smarter race. Basically, you didn't push yourself into oxygen debt too quickly. 10K is a long way to go. You don't want to put yourself out of the race halfwayt through because you ran the first half with reckless abandon.
