Again this week, we worked a lot so coming here and running this kind of time shows me that I’m in the right direction before the Trials. Am I feeling pressure? No I can not. I realized that God has a goal for me. I can’t let go. I can’t stop thinking about what he wants me to do. Even before the race, I am praying, I must remain humble and motivated to continue to pursue my goal. “
