Today has been my best run of the season so far. We were doing hills today, and I was slightly nervous because the last time we had done the grapevine hill I was struggling a little bit compared to the other guys. Coach robs had us run through a visualization excersise before we left. I think that helped me stay a lot more calm during the run. I am going to start using that even more for sure. I got to the hill and we did 5 reps of 1 minute hills and 1 rep of 85 seconds. We also had an extra minute between rep 3 and 4. We started off on the first hill from a point farther back than where we usually start. I finished the first rep with our top guys and started thinking how easy that felt. After that I made sure not to slow down at all. I stayed towards the front of the pack the rest of the workout. Around the third rep I remember thinking back to a lesson coach had given about working on your weaknesses and turning them into strengths as well as another lesson about breaking down the mental barriers that hold you back. Both lessons helped push me through the workout and reminded me about how important the harder workouts are to improving. This definitely was one of the workouts that helped me strengthen my weaknesses and get past those mental barriers. On the last rep of 85 seconds I made it further than I ever had gone up the hill and finished fairly strong. This run was definitely rewarding.
