Difficult takes a day, Impossible takes a week

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.  

The power of belief.

Hello Lovelies! Good news! So as I've said before, I Love track with the white hot intensity of 1,000 suns. My passion and dedication have paid off. I am now seeded( which is the technical track term) or ranked at number one in my district! Meaning of all the girls who do what I do in my area,I am the fastest. More awesome news? The next fastest girl is on my team too! So here is where I reiterate that belief in yourself is SO important. The girls I run against have been practicing for YEARS whereas I only started last year. However, I told myself when I made a commitment to track that I was making a commitment to success. We should all believe that we have potential for success, without that belief there is no motivation! Think about it, if you already believe you can't do something are you just dying to go out and fail? Certainly not! Remember that even though there are others who do what you do or want what you want there is only ONE you and that makes you a hot commodity. I have reached one of my goals, so now it's time to go beyond, district champ is nice but, a regional title sounds even better ^_^ so onward and upward!! ~Katy
