My season has begun with 2 races and one P.R. in the 5k.  I raced May 1st at Stanford and ran a P.R. of 15:05 for 3rd place behind Shannon Rowbury and Shalane Flanagan.  I did an interview after the Stanford race with Flotrack.  I know I seemed upset about the race, but you really can’t be upset about a PR.  I was just not happy with my kick.  I need to be able to close faster than that.  It is early and it will come.   I can’t believe it has already been three weeks since my last race.  I took one of those weeks easy after the 5k to visit my family in Indiana and meet my new niece.  She is adorable.

Now I am back in Oregon training for the remainder of the track season.  After spending the winter at an altitude training camp, I am looking forward to spending the summer in Oregon training with the team and Andrew.   I got so excited to be here this summer that I planted a vegetable garden in the back yard.  However, so far the weather has not been nice.  It has been raining for a week and it hailed the last 2 days.  My veggies are not happy.  I am hoping for some gorgeous Oregon summer weather soon.

This weekend I will race the 1500 meters in Eugene.  The Oregon Track Club is running men’s and women’s 1500 meter races during the Oregon High School State track meet.  It will be a great opportunity to work on my speed and run in Oregon.  I will update after the 1500 meters this weekend.
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
