well, i've only got one (two at the absolute most) meets till eugene. i've just been sitting and waiting. the trials can't get here fast enough. and the usatf seding about two emails a week concerning housing and travel to and from eugene and beijing doesn't help that fact. but that's the worst of my problems at the moment, which is a blessing. my hip feels great, i'm getting in a lot of technical work, and my form is coming around. i'm stronger, healthier, more flexible, and we haven't even tapped into the explosive stuff on the track and in the weightroom. all the track workouts are far exceding my old practice bests. i would love it if the trials were in a week, but i have to sit and wait for another month and a half. it's the one difference i'm not that fond of in being a post collegiate athlete. not having a meet week in and week out to look forward to... not having to lace 'em up and get after it and compete every weekend from april on through june. but i'm after a different title this year, so i guess change is to be expected.
