Yesterday at the track SMU did really good. Mary got third in the mile, Lovisa won the 800 and got Freshman of the Year award. Klara got 6th in the mile. Results of the entire meet are online at Conference USA website. Its fun to watch intense races and cheer on my team again! its hard to do that in cross country because you are running the race also. I am so appreciative of the opportunity to be on the team, go and compete at the college conference championship level, and be a part of such an amazing team and an amazing group of girls. I never thought in a MILLION years this is where I would be. I know this is probably like the 5th time ive said that in my blog but i really am so proud, appreciative, and happy to be where I am. I just want to get better and better and train harder and harder to continue to compete on this level more competitively.
Yesterday also Me and Monika had a 60 minute run (25 I had already done at the hotel) So we get going and know we cannot run off campus because it is too dangerous. We were about 50 minutes away from watching mary and siljie's race in the mile so we gave ourselves plenty of time to get back. LITTLE DID WE KNOW we would get so incredibly lost! we ran for about 55 minutes (the last 20 minutes being a sprint to get back for the race) right when we got back to the track the gun went off for the mile race (perfect timing!). After that intense workout we did some abs outside since the weather was beautiful. Then we finished the meet, packed up, and headed back on the road. We got back to SMU at about midnight.
Then started my crazy day. I woke up and realized I left my phone charger at the hotel :/. So then I went to run 90minutes with Mary, Klara, and Lovisa. My legs were so dead the first 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes! It was a super hard run on the legs, body, and mind. One good thing though is coach said we would have a somewhat easy week to get our bodies happy for our first outdoor meet of the season in three weekends from now! Then after that I had to quickly shower to get ready for sorority pictures. I was on my way to pictures then was going to go to target to get a charger and it was then that I realized that my car battery is dead! So now im trying to get my car jumped so that I can drive home to go to cirque du soleil with my family and some of my teammates tonight.
Many things seem to be going wrong today, but you just gatta roll with the punches... things could be way worse right now so count your blessings even when everything is not going according to plan. Because if you truely think about it you have it way better than MANY other people around the world. Even though my car wont start, at least I have a car. Even though I lost my phone charger, at least I have a phone. Even though I had a hard run today, at least God gave me a body healthy and able to run. Even though im having a bad day, at least its another day god gave me to live. Some people wont get today. Just put in in perspective.
