“My Life Just Couldn’t Get Any Better”

So um yeah, more disappointing news, my knees failed me again this Tuesday. I went to the meet, but I wasn’t able to run during warmups and I wasn’t able to compete. It was the worst feeling because I woke up that morning so happy and pumped to go and I literally got on a bus to go to downtown (which was about an one hour drive to and from with all this crazy Miami traffic, even though I fell asleep on the way back) and I felt hopeless when I saw everyone else run and I was stuck watching. So now I won’t be able to make it districts. And I wasn’t able to make the meet on Thursday. But I’m still going to go to practice, try to go to the rest of the meets, and train for next year because I’m no quitter and I’m committed all right. So yeah, there we go with commitment. Any who, I input my thoughts for a discussion we had in Ethics, so I guess that was an “improvement”. For thankfulness, I just went back to square one all over again. On Tuesday, the day of my meet in which I couldn’t compete in, I wanted my dad to pick me up because I didn’t want to stay and waste my time while I was in pain. However, he was in a meeting for work and he couldn’t come. So when I came home I got mad at my parents for not understanding me and not thinking about me. I was really unthankful to them and I agree with what I did was wrong. I’ll work on my attitude. Good news is that I went to practice today, even though we only did a mile I still got through with 9 minutes and 45 seconds, for not running in 9 days I guess that’s pretty good. Good bye, hopefully running this weekend won’t kill me.

    I am so happy for you that you are not giving up on cross country even if your knees keep giving up on you. I understand how it is to sometimes fight with parents because it happens to all of us, you're not alone and it's completely normal.

  2. Heyy Sanjana :)
    I am really glad that your knee is getting a lot better and its ok that you couldn't compete or run this week and it wasn't your fault. I understand how you feel. It's fine that you were mad at your parents because I get mad at them too and it just happens naturally sometimes. I am also working on my attitude. So good luck and feel even better :)
