Last weekend I was fortunate enough to spend the weekend in the Carribbean in Ponce (pronounced Ponse-say) in Puerto Rico. The meet hotel was a Hilton resort, golf course, and casino, definitely a vacation destination hotel. It was sort of out by itsel...]]> Fri, 22 May 2009 13:22:00 +0000
This week I have a more legitamate excuse for not writing a blog on, say, Monday. The fact is that I actually did write a blog on Monday and I was about to add one more link to it and press submit when my Firefox browser crashed and I lost it. This tim...]]> Thu, 14 May 2009 02:31:00 +0000

This past week has been a little bit rough for me training-wise. It began last Saturday at the Arizona State invitational where I ran the 400m and anchored the 4x400m relay. I guess actually it started earlier than that. In the 3 weeks leading up to...]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 01:11:00 +0000

The Good News: This weekend I placed third in the 800m at the US Indoor National Championships. It was my first time making a final at a US meet and the first time, I think, in any final since NCAA's in 2006. It is also the highest I have finished at a...]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:18:00 +0000
I have now ran I don't know how many races at the 800m distance over the past 3 years, and still I seem to learn so much with every race. Training for the 800 is a much easier process than actuall racing. In training, there is always a coach there to t...]]> Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:21:00 +0000

Indoor Recap Just to give a recap of my short indoor season, I ran a total of 3 races and didn't do particularly well in any of them. Of course I ran my hardest in all 3 races but after each I felt like I could or should have done better.
