So, I've decided to beat the cobwebs off of this log and am going back to posting in it. You see, my system dramatically changed this outdoor season on account of moving schools. The coaches were nowhere near as cool with me as far as letting my system flow, and I feel that greatly hurt my performances as well as contracting Mono early on in the season. I am exceptionally disappointed with how the season turned out on an individual level (I raced far more then I ever have before, and only ran 1 PR). I was, however, blessed with winning the 4x8 and team state titles, so that was great. I am finally rolling back around to feeling good most of the time, so hopefully I can string together some solid training and get in killer shape once again.
The goal for the next several weeks' transition period is to maintain a bit of fitness and correct some postural issues that could make me more injury prone later on.

So I haven’t posted in this in nearly a year. I initially planned to bring it back, and failed to do so. Time to give it a shot again.
Basically, I’m still the same athlete I was when this started, but now I’m more focused on the 800, and less on the XC side of things. Currently, I’m in a speed and power phase before I jump into building back up the conditioning for next season.
