“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

7 minutes

7 minutes, thats how long I missed my goal by, 7. I don't have any excuses, my ankle didnt bother me at all, I got enough sleep. I just couldn't do it. I pushed and pushed but the cruel reality that I hadn't prepared myself as adequately as I thought I had. It was very disappointing but it made me realize that the way I have been improving over the past few years (knocking about 7 minutes off a year) is only going to get harder and harder the faster I go. I was actually only about 5 and a half minutes off of being in the paper. However, even though I didn't do quite as well as I had hoped, there's always next year.
