After a very successful 2012 indoor season all sights are now focused on spring. I'm looking forward to running faster times outdoors. I have to admit, taking off last week was very much needed. Physically and mentally I'm slightly in a better place. The distractions continue to be thrown my way, but I seem to be able to counter them one problem at a time. My main goals remain the same. To be the best father that I can for Kadence, and to run fast. In that order. My patience sometimes wears thin but I have great coaching, family, and friends that keep me in check. When I say I want to run fast, I mean it. Though my fitness is at such a high level, I haven't hit the roof yet. It can get better. So for now I'm just going to sweat the small things. I can tailor some workouts to tweak and improve certain aspects of my races. Being healthy is important so consistency and patience are the key.
On another thought I'm looking forward to running the second annual Road Relays, my first. I snagged a partner real early and now he is injured. Though early odds had us winning, I seem to be lost in the shuffle now without even a partner to run. So at this point I'm just looking to have some fun. With the official start of training this week for the outdoor season and Sundays Road Relays, I can officially say I'm back in the saddle.
