1st race 0f '09

I ran my 1st 400 of the year on Saturday in the Lions/Waterloo meet in Austin. Considering where I was earlier this year I should be happy with a 58.21 AT(57.9ht-57.1selft). Upon reflection, I am very happy with the 1st 300 of the race. Ran smart 'til 300 then started struggling trying to catch a younger competitor and lost my form. I would have easily run a low 57 maybe a high 56 with a smoother finish. Back to training and another chance to improve next
Saturday, June 6. I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me.

EZ 59.8 400

I ran an easy feeling 400m on the track this morning in 59.8. My first hard 400 since my accident. It felt so good to run like that again. No booty lock at all, just smooth running through the line. I can't wait until May 23rd when I run my 1st meet of the year in Austin.
