Somebody stop me

"I can't help myself; I'm just fast."

"This is easy-peasy"

"I could do more. I just don't want to."

"I could run faster. I just don't want to."

"Somebody stop me."

Such is the self-talk heard from Dan this morning. Oh, he wasn't saying this stuff out loud, mind you. But he was thinking it.

Seems funny, right? Well, guess what? It really works. It did today. In what will likely be the final full Yasso workout before Cleveland (a week and a half away), Dan finally got all of his 800s below the four-minute barrier. This doesn't necessarily mean that Dan will go sub-4-hours in Cleveland (there are plenty of other factors in the mix), but it does mean that he can. And (the converse is important) if he could not do the workout, you could bet that he couldn't run the race in the goal time.
