I know what I am capable of. This is going to be a good cross country season and everything will play out the way it is supposed to. With our 2 mile time trial just around the corner, I have been trying to prepare myself mentally and physically. After a challenging cross country season in Florida, I don't really know what to expect. Although the uncertainty has been driving me crazy, I am not going into the time trial on Thursday with a plan; the only expectation that I have for myself is to have fun and run for my teammates.
One of the reasons why I believe I was so successful my freshman year of high school was because I had no idea what I was doing; I ran because it made me happy. I want to have my freshman mentality going into the time trial. If I don't set my bar of expectations too high, then I will have no reason to be disappointed. I almost have to prepare myself for the worst knowing that while I am beyond capable of running a fast time and surprising myself, running isn't always a perfect sport.
This is only the beginning; the start of many workouts and races to come. I am going into this time trial with confidence in my training and the satisfaction of knowing I have put in the hard work; the rest will come together if I continue to work hard and push myself. Here's to a great season with my La Verne team! :)
