A bad name

I think all of us track runners give track a bad name. Probably because we all complain so much.

In reality? I'm pretty sure most of us can't live without it.

Here's where my frustration comes in. Remember how I was sick last week? Well I still am. So. Despite my detest for the doctor, I decided to go today to save my mama from worrying about me still being sick in China (t-minus 8 days!!!!!!).

So I went to the doctor.

And you know it's not starting off well when his response to you is something along the lines of "Well.. I mean.. it's not exactly normal. So we'll try out this medicine."

Medicine with a side effect of tightened tendons. Meaning no running/jogging/physical activity for the week.

Meaning no running/jogging/physical activity for A MONTH. Since we'll be in China the next 3 weeks. UGH!

This is 3 seasons in a row that I've been out for a week or more. And the season just barely started!

Anyways. I should go to school since my appointment ended a little while ago and I'm supposed to be teaching my pre-school class today.

Frustration.

All I want

Is another hot bubble bath.

Today I feel like this.



And it's AWFUL.

There I go complaining too much again. But whatever.

Overall a decent day. Didn't do much in school. Started reading Crime and Punishment.. took some notes.. almost fell asleep in Nursery..

And my legs feel like Jello after track today. Boo.

One of these days I'll actually post about something. For now it's kind of nothing. But at least I'm getting back in the habit.

My one thrill of the day? I've finally stopped biting my nails for long enough that I was able to paint them. First time since summer. Lol. Yayyyy.

Tomorrowww-- Pancakes with my girls. :]

Today

I hurt.

First day of track practice. Awww man. Don't get me wrong- track is my favorite sport. Period. However, it kills your body. So today my legs moved far too much for their liking and my lungs worked a little too hard for being croupy already.

I complain too much.

On a lighter note.. hmm.

In Econ today, my teacher mentioned a tater tot eating contest he'd had with my brother. Ahh I always loved that story.

Saw an old family friend at our school's basketball game today! And also got to go with my Dad, brother, and boyfriend.

Picked up a book I've been needing to get at Barnes and Noble. Unfortunately it's Crime and Punishment. Dense reading here we go.

That's probably about it. I'm trying to work out going to the Taylor Swift concert next fall!!! Crossing my fingers. That's like my dream- she's my all time favorite performer!

Anyways. Not a lot to talk about tonight. I think I'm going to go take a warm shower and then climb into bed. With about 15 blankets. Because it's FREEZING here.

I either want snow or sunshine.

The latter sure sounds wonderful at the moment. Can it just be summer already?
