Hey Guys! So good news/bad news, good news is I made it to regionals!! Which is the regional level of competition for track(This is the equivalent of the playoffs) , bad news is I did an embarrassingly bad job at regionals. I ran a relay, meaning; me and 3 other girls had to run around the track and pass the baton to each other. When it was my turn to run we went from 4th place to last place, then I wanted to curl up in a dark hole and hide. I felt like I had let my team down, like I had truly embarrassed myself and like I didn't give my all the way I should have. I spent the next two days in the depths of despair and guilt. Finally I decided everyone gets to have an off day, that one test you failed, that time you fell off the balance beam, when you slipped trying to kick the ball into the goal, an off day. SOOO I forgave myself and moved on with life because telling myself how bad I am won't improve my running now will it? No. After I forgave myself I used my positive affirmations 1. I made it to regionals, a lot of people did not. 2. I mad it in a more competitive district then I competed in last year. 3. It's only my second season of track so of course there is room for improvement and that's what I'll do! Just I said before, when life wants to pick a fight, fight back. So I have begun the search for a track trainer and have been referred to a champion runner who will help me ^_^ I have also reapplied and dedicated myself to my cause, which is to be the best little me I can be. Remember that there will NEVER be a better you than you.
