Urg....Icky

Conference = painful. I was soooo sooo sooo sooo nervous for the race that I caused myself to run horrendously bad. 18:04.... I almost ran that as a freshman.

Sectionals is on saturday and I can't let myself get nervous. I can't. :( I know I am physically capable of running with the front runners, I mean I can run practice splits that are just as fast as theirs, it's just getting there mentally. It's so hard to go over that hump for me though, to think that I can, it's surprisingly hard.

I wish school was over already. It seems like everyday I get 3 projects done, only to get 4 more to replace those 3 the next day. It's the never ending impossible cycle, and I hate it. Hey, only like 7 months left so I guess it's all about holding strong for just a little while longer. :)

I'm tired, so I'm done with this. good night everybody.

jeffrey,

i wish you all the luck at sectionals. no matter what happens, just know that you can step off and say that you ran that course with all you had. that's all that anyone can ever ask of you. i am praying for you, and i'll be there cheering you on. you are still one of the greatest runners i know, because you run with determination and heart, and i can see it in your eyes every time i see you run.

this is it. and when you're out there, and the opponent in your head is telling you to give up and telling you to fail, remember everything that you've been through the past months. the disappointment and anger you felt with your stress fracture. the trials. the challenges. the sweat. the tears. the ups and the downs. the times you wanted to give up. the worse races.

sometimes these events can mean more to us than our accomplishments, and i'll tell you why. because you fought through. you never gave up. you spent the days of your stress fracture cross-training, preparing yourself for when you could begin training again. and the times you wanted to give up, you never did, you still fought through till the end. and the worse races, they gave you that much more determination and mental toughness to come back and win next time.

you'll do great on saturday, state trip or not. good luck, i'm praying for you, and run with nothing held back.
