wow. so i just got back from one of the funnest trips of my life:). we went down to nike southwest regionals. LONGEST bus ride of my life. i think that i've had my dose if buses until girls camp. but with our team, it was pretty entertaining:) the hotels of course we're kinda not amazing, the showers sucked at the last one, and yet, it was still great:) with mall trips, meeting justin and nathan, then HARRY POTTER, then jumping on beds, and water fights with mark, then AMAZING pep talks from only the most AMAZING coach ever, and a birthday, it was easily one of the best trips ever. ever. EVER. but the race itself, oh my. i've never raced at that kind of level. in my life. i've fought at levels that intense. but runners like me, don't usually run at national level races. but i did:) and i wasn't as nervous as i thought i'd be. with the stress fracture and other things in the way, i wasn't able to run as much as i would've liked before this race. but i was able to bike a lot and i got to run a week or so before. of course, it's no where near enough to what you need to do good at nike, but considering my conditions, i felt good. like i had done all i could. and once i was there, the nerves were no where to be found. well almost. and once we got there to jog the course, i felt good:) then once the actual race came around, i felt good and as ready as i ever was going to get. my time was pretty good. and i loved the course. even the killer hills. oh golf courses are ment for running. just saying. and my finish was epic. neck in neck, trading the entire race, down to the last 800, about ready to die, and i somehow pushed it through.:) my goals for this season were to finish the race. no regrets. and end my first and junior season on a high note ready for track. mission accomplished. i can honestly say that this season was so much fun. and i've had the chance to meet such amazing, crazy, sweet, totally awesome people. and i'm so sad to see all our seniors leave!!!!!:( GAHHH. summer just isn't gonna be the same without them. neither is camp. or bob firman. or SUU or murray or region or pre region or nike. or anything else. but i guess this just means the rest of us have to step it up and keep this little thing we call the "bruin winning tradition" going. but still. lets just keep a few of them yes? yes. but we for sure ended this cross country season on an amazing note. bruins. lets get ready for track!:)
the more and more i thought about this whole adventure we were on this weekend, it kinda hit me.. like that's me next year...:( like it's almost over.. then we all have to grow up, and all the worth while boys go on missions and college and and and it's just not high school anymore!!!:( i've always wanted to be a senior and get out on my own.. but now, now that i'm so close i'm not so sure anymore...:(
