I am love love lovvvvving this weekend already. What a fun time. Our hotel is fantastic, we're in like suite-style rooms with the extra living room & desk area and everything. Dinner last night was so yummy. This morning was great as well, we got to sleep in?! Just keeps getting better. Anyways, Breck and I did a little pre-meet jog on the treadmill this morning before breakfast. Then we all headed to the track around noon. Also warmed up with Mell around 6pm for her DMR mile leg.
The track here is electronically banked, which should be really interesting...I feel like one side of my body is gonna be aching real hard after 25 laps (50 curves) of leaning during this race tomorrow haha. I'm excited though - I think coach Harris is having Mell pace Breck and I on sub-19:30 pace, for the first 3k anyways. After that I think she will either choose to drop out (if her injuries or whatever are bothing her) or choose to race the rest of it for herself. I'm betting she'll do the latter. I'm a little nervous about that just because I know she's gonna pace us too fast, but I don't wanna just not try and go with her because of that. I'm gonna try my best. It's conference!! Last shot, for the indoor season anyways.
I'm praying tonight for joy during the race tomorrow, not just when it's over. I want to enjoy using all of my gifts out there, and the feeling of making myself weak so that God can show his surpassing strength. Also for excitement and positivity regarding my teammates - that I could account for their desires and worries as more than my own & serve them tomorrow instead of getting so wrapped up in "my" race.
