Indiana Open (the next meet)

Hi track fans!
Like most athletes, injuries always seem to come when you least expect them. I have been experiencng some small issues with my body. My knees have been really sore and after running at Kent State my hamstrings have been so sore. I am able to train, I just have to warm up a little longer and really get loose. I have been doing some rehab stuff and for the most part can still run. So I guess it is part of the game......the job .....the dream.
So the next meet was at IU and here I ran the 60, 400, and the 200. Chris wanted me to run these races and treat it like another day of good practice. Well again I was nervous because everyone looks at me as the 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist and if I ran bad what would they think? I did go into the meet with a relaxed mind, maybe too relaxed and not really expecting much. I wanted to see where I was with my training. I had a great week of training and boy I had never done 300's until I felt like throwing up and passing out.
So I did get a little better in the 60, but I still need to work on my start and really pushing out and being quick. I have noticed that the beginning of my runs are a little slow and then I start building up. I gotta get those fast twitch muscles working ha ha, but I won the 400 and the 200. My times weren't that great but it allowed me to see where I was at. My goal for each race from now on is to attack the best way I can and continue to progress. I am going to start improving my mental, strength and physical. I want to improve my confidence and I know I will more and more as I run.
So all in all motherhood is so rewarding and the ability to train is also rewarding. As the season progresses I hope to qualify for Indoor Nationals and be in my prime shape by outdoor season. Please keep my family in your prayers and I wish you all the best!!!
