Ok so today was my birthday and it started out amazing!! i was really excited for the track meet! just totally ready to PR my mile and everything! well do to my stupidity and didn't turn in my XC shorts (which are amazing and awesome) Paxton said she i couldn't run and that she was gonna get mean and give me a hard workout! (i've never seen here get mean or mad before so it scared me.....literally i'm sooooo turning the shorts in cause i don't want to go through hell with her) so i totally broke down cause i was ready for this meet and i tried explaining to her about how those are really the only shorts i could wear, and i don't have any other good ones like them, and the ones i was wearing i'd been talked to about multiple times about covering up and stuff and that i couldn't wear them, and the new shorts i just bought for 20 bucks from chili don't even fit which is a waste so now i'm stuck in my awesome extremely talked about good or bad short shorts (I swear i'm the only one on the team who gets picked on for this kind of crap i.e. short shorts, shaved legs, etc...) so i was totally bummed and pissed off about not being able to run the race that ment sooooo much to me. Paxton wanted me to do a 20 minute tempo run as hard as i could, i'm guessing she lessened it cause it was my B-Day i could totally tell she was gonna say 30min (which would have sucked!!) so i was warming up for that in circles waiting for Susannah to show up, and when she did i went up and i talked to her and her mom about what we were going to do, and i told her that i had to run 20 min thats all and i'll be back so she decided to wait for me, and i went on my way. I made my way through a lot of sub divisions and actually ran into Susannah while zig zagging back and forth to the main road, i really picked it up and pushed it hard on this. I eventually got back to the car, and we grabbed the Cupcakes (which were AMAZING!!) and Susannah and i went for a cool down/very prolonged run, i showed her the Clearfield Cross Country course and we played around on the kids track that was painted on the ground! then we went and sat next to a tree and just talked and laughed and hung out and stretched!! it was sooo much fun to spend some time with her, we eventually made it back to the track meet and cheered on some of the race. and somehow only two Cupcakes were missing!! so i grabbed one and then i told the distance runners and some other kids that they could have one. they all loved them! we sat and talked and took some pictures and watched the meet some more and sadly Susannah had to leave :( but i'll see her soon! were gonna go run Pipeline!! way excited for that! when the boys 3200 came around a little bit after she left, India Dustin was running it soooo slow it was way funny and we were cheering him on and stuff! i eventually went for another run with Dustin and a little longer by myself in an attempt to find a restroom. we left the meet happy and ready to go home, Paxton told the bus driver that it was my birthday so he annoucced it on the intercom and everyone freaked out screaming and singing! i was laughing sooo hard and then they teased me some more about Susannah! overall it was an amazing running day and i was able to vent out my anger and frustration into my workout and it worked great! sooooo glad i got to run with Susannah again! I LOVE RUNNING SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! |
