Ran the mile at state today. The weather was not ideal, and it was very cold and wet. We didn't start warming up early enough and got called into the bullpen after only a little bit of running around. We sat around for a bit, then went out to the line. I was in the third alley. The gun went off and I actually got a really good start, and after the turn I went into like third place. It didn't last too long, but I was in the top 8 for the first 400. I came through in 66, then kind of fell off the pack and ran with the Davis guys for the next 600. I came through the 800 in 2:11, then the 1200 in 3:19. Sadly at this point my legs kind of just froze up and felt like they couldn't move anymore, and I tried to kick it in, but just could not move. I ended up running a 69 second last lap and getting passed by a bunch of dudes. I still PR'd, but only by a half second running 4:29.04. I really felt like I was going to run 4:24 or faster, but I think the cold weather got to me, because my legs were just kind of numb on the last lap. Hopefully tomorrow is warmer.
