haybales are so so fun! haha, but I seriously did have fun on this race. I'm not quite the fan of grass (or wet grass either) but it wasn't too bad after I got into it. I am happy with this race. still not my goal, and I still want that goal so much, but this race was the best this season so far. It always makes me so upset to see like ten girls in front of me walking for what seems to be majority of the race, and I'm never able to catch them! today, I don't know how, but I passed like seven. It really helped me feel better about racing and stuff. I'm glad I stick to my two goals of last season, don't stop running, don't get last.

three mile run, striders, warm-up, and parade. I feel good! that's about all I can say. When I started running for fun like coach roberts told me, everything just seemed to get better. I have a goal for this week's race, positive attitude. for the most part I'm good with that, but when it comes to races, those dark clouds of "I can't" start looming over my worried head. so far race goals are going pretty well this year, besides breaking 30, I've beaten Micah in all the races, and this past race I made a goal to beat Sally, and I got that one too!

okay, so I didn't go to afternoon practice BECAUSE I am feeling ill-ish, and I don't want to do anything to make me feel really sick for the race tomorrow and homecoming Saturday. I also went to morning practice, which puts me in the clear, okay? this morning I didn't feel as well, I wasn't really able to keep up with varsity at all this morning, but I got to run with Little Taylor Boyer, so that was very enjoyable. morning runs feel nice. :)

hooray positive attitude! It went pretty good, until I noticed that the next person in front of me was farther than the next person behind me. I felt like I was really pushing hard, but I guess not hard enough. I'm sure my illness, the wind, and the grass didn't help too much either. I wanted to be able to catch up to sally, but unfortunately, people improve. haha. Still not any closer to my goal, which is a little depressing, but I'm going to keep on trying the positive attitude thing.
