Track and Field Blogs - Anna Willard

I leave for the airport in under an hour, so I only have a few minutes to post. The past two months since USA's have been pretty up-and-down in terms of training, but the past few weeks my ankle feels about 90% better and my workouts have been going much better. Its feels like its been a long summer because I've mostly been in Ann Arbor and I'm very much ready to head out to Japan. Mike McGuire, my coach, and I decided to do a little tune-up race at the Falmouth mile and I'm really happy I did. I forget how much I love to compete and even a low-key event like that gave me confidence and I feel much more prepared for Worlds. Also, I got a chance to get to know Michelle Sikes much better, who I requested to be my roommate in Osaka. She's really funny and (obviously) very enthusiastic about running and I suspect she'll be down for some adventures in Japan. Ok, I'm really running late- more from Japan!!!
