A pretty interesting weekend as I ran at Conference USA for U of H. A quick summary: Friday:I ran the 800 prelims in 1:54.4, taking 2nd in my heat. Top 2 advanced automatically so all I did was put myself in position and then cruise in. I was pleasently surprised by how easy it felt.…

It is cold, very cold for a southerner. Alright, maybe it’s not that bad but I HATE having to bundle up and put on all sorts of clothes to just get out and run. The freezing rain really doesn’t make things much better. But enough complaining. A quick update. Back to normal after getting over…
