Day 2 at New Englands

Sorry for the delay. Day 2 didn't end up as i would've liked, but I competed in every sense of the word. Landed on the long jump replacement board coming out of my step and twisted my knee. I had fouled coming off the board so I had to make some approach tweaks. I fouled my next jump and ended up jumping a conservative 44'5" on my last. I hoped but it wasn't quite enough to get into finals. As I stood by, all I could do was watch all of the competition I was missing out on. Some good jumps by some guys I will definitely see again outdoors. That part excites me. Again, I've talked about failure before, but this day was my new found motivation. I have to accept it and move on. It's a history I can not change. Like the title of this blog, I will put one foot after the other(except during my hop phase) and go after my goal. I had goals before, but as of now I just want to say I was the best I could be. This may be it for my indoor season, but I will achieve what I set out to do.
