We arrived Thursday night and I am rooming with Lovisa again such an amazing swedish roommate! We arrived during the craziness of downtown Houston! Many people leaving to go home from work, reminded me of downtown Chicago just a lot warmer and more ethnically diverse. Then we went to the track as the sprinters did a workout (us distance girls did our workout early thursday morning). After that we ordered Olive Garden to go and ate back at the hotel. I got capaleni pomodoro (a new favorite at olive garden since we seem to always go there for track meets). After dinner me Klara and Lovisa watched Hes Just Not That Into you before bed!
Friday morning it was time to wake up. The conference is paying for our hotel but not paying for our breakfast! ugh. So i had to go walk around to find some warm water for oatmeal! so annoying. Then I did a little shake out run. Next it was time to walk two blocks to go to Forever 21! It was such an amazing and huge forever 21! I got a pair of running shorts and headbands! So much more amazing stuff there I just didnt want to spend money on it yet im waiting for spring break to shop for summer clothes. After that it was time for lunch we went to Jason's Deli. I got a turkey sandwich on a super good bread! Me mary and Klara went and sat outside the pool at the hotel and ate lunch! Super nice! Unfortunantly the whole town shuts down at about 3 and on the weekends so tomorrow who knows where we will find breakfast and lunch! good thing we get to go to Kroger (kinda sketchy kroger) and grab some food for the next day.
Then it was time for the race. It was kinda an annoying race because the girls I was competing against were SUPER good. The first place girl ran 16:15 breaking the meet record. she was of course from Kenya. So it wasnt a very encouraging race. My time was okay faster than the Iowa meet but still not a Personal best. Then it was time to cool down, eat dinner, and wait for the distance medley relay. Our team was stacked with mary, lovisa, gigi, and siljie. The race is a 1200m run, 400m run, 800m run, then mile run. We won the race by the 20 seconds ahead of everyone else! They did so amazing less than a second off of the meet record!
Finally it was time to go home. I didnt get to bed last night until like 1am! Woke up this morning to a LOUD PARADE outside our hotel! its still going on...super annoying and loud!
Now have to get ready for another long day at the track then long trip home!
