Forgive me for this rather overdue post. Many things have happened in the last couple weeks which I really wanted to fit into one new entry on the blog rather than having 4 or 5. As many of you may have seen on TV, New York did not go well. I ran just behind the leaders mid pack for a little over half the race, with 500m to go the leaders began to quicken the pace and push for home, and it was at this point that I realized there were no more gears. The last 300m proved to be the hardest of my running career thus far. I managed to put 100m between the leaders and myself in only 300m.
In the weeks since NYC I have been getting some long overdue treatment on my knee. I have been having trouble with my knee since december of 09. Thankfully my knee is feeling better and better each day. Today I will attempt to run for the first time since last thursday.
I faced a very tough decision this past week while trying to decide whether or not to run at the USA championships at less than 100% healthy. In light of returning to The University of Arkansas for my final year of eligibility in cross country and outdoor track My coach and I decided to take this time to rest and get my knee better. So as this means no USA champs it does mean I can take a little break and get my knee better. In the end the right decision was made and I am very excited to come back for my senior year and run with a young yet very talented razorback team. WOOO PIG SOOIE!!!!!
