Success: Injury couldn’t stop Davis
■ conunuM non rags m
But that didn't slop Hart* from running. Do a
normal week, Davis doe* double*. running in the
morning and evening Tbs fir** week bark from
surgery. ha did abhmrialad workouts But *m
since ha haw gone full speed ahead.
"If I sat mound fear three weak* and than the sea
son was mm. it wouldn't he settled inside." Davit
said "For me, if l did everything I ton Id and the
knew injury happened again, well that is out of my
hands and i can sit hawk and say Wail, i did this,
and now the season Is gone/*
The season, however, isn't gone But — give or
take a little — the injury is.
"Right now it rouse* and go**," he said "I fee) it
in the morning sometimes The biggest thing is
when my tag is si a full 00 degree* like when I am
driving a cm. at that sngla. I will get out of the rat
and go 'Oh no * But I can push it with my hand
and release it Then it is good to go. and I can go
for days again *
According to Davit. menial toughness is the key
to coming hack from an injury
"You can't be a lame hems*: you can't always be
thinking about your knee,” he said "You have to
stefs out and start preparing for your race and trv to
get back to the thing* you normally did in die first
place That is basically what I try to do
”1 think the biggest thing when you are coming
hat h i» mu physical so much, it is menial That is
what grinds you Halfway through a race when
you are hurting. II is usually upstair*. You have
to think visurself out of it or think you love it "
And Davia did just that at the Fertile-10 Confer
ence Championship meet last weekend, loving
every minute of his 29 28 *. second place finish in
the 10.000
"You have to love that you ate going to run the
10.000." Davis said "I liked what happened with
my rar e It was the first time that I felt like Yeah.
lllMIBIiW .at j
MMY Davis and lummiti Karl Kesha will provide
Oregon with etnsngth In tNe distance*
I actually raced it.' J fell like I had control in lha
me*. Thai is a defirutelv a punitive going into the
NCAA*,
"That wa» th* first race that I zoned out. You
don't hear th* crowd, you are just focused on what
you ar* doing That brought me the confidence
that I know l can race at NCAA* When I line up at
NCAA, what I can do l* try 110 percent that day
and give my beat. I will be fine with It. no matter
what the outcome is. knowing I gave 110 percent."
And knowing Davis, he will love every minute
of it
