## Caption

I have a lot of thoughts about yesterdays race, so many that I apologize if this post is a little incoherent 🤪 also running off a little less sleep than normal headed back to 🇺🇸 

After a day spent reading so many thoughtful messages, I just want to say how thankful I feel to the track community!  What a testament to how much people love the mile- I can’t think of a race where I’ve felt so connected to track fans and enjoyed the reaction to fast times in all my years of racing.  Long live the mile!  Thank you all for making it feel so special. 

Second, it’s been really rewarding/hilarious to think back to the days when I used to tell my parents I would be the first girl to break the 4 minute mile barrier. Boy, I really had some confidence (and a lot of nerve)! 😂 Only 18 seconds shy but truly feel super happy to have a mile time in the books that reflects my love for the race!  While I didn’t quite achieve young Cory’s mile time goal, running the third fastest outdoor mile time by an American woman and being in the ballpark of the American record is something I will never ever take for granted.  I’ve poured a lot into this sport over the years.  It always pays me back in some positive way but it’s rare to have a day like yesterday where the reward feels proportionate to the work it takes. 

A couple weeks out from USAs so back to work for the races that matter the most! 

Lastly, thank you __teamboss__ couldn’t do it without all of you! #veryfunjob #track #mile #bislettgames #DreamMile 

Thanks for the 📸 pacephoto
