why i'm happy:
*I CAN RUN!!! slowly, but i'll take what i can get. i still can't go with my normal group, but i am happy to be able to do something. hopefully i'll feel better by saturday, or i'm screwed.
*the xc hoodies are so flipping cool.
*molly and i want to do a half marathon in december, and although i know it's going to take some hard-core pushing until december if i want to actually run a respectable amount of it, but i looked the race up online and i'm so excited. this is going to be AWESOME.
*the weather is so nice!!!
why i'm not happy:
*i didn't apply myself at all with that english essay. i'm going to have to do a lot of work this weekend. i didn't even address my "so what?" question until my final paragraph.
*myspace music changed their layout for music players. and it's annoying.

meet
i was so happy at the meet today.
carrie did FABULOUSLY and was fast like nuts and i'm so proud! *sniffle* i told you you'd do well.
i also think that maggie pr'd! (ok seriously, how do you spell that?) and, apparently, by a lot. i heard a discussion to cutelli and i heard "23" being tossed around a lot. if i got a time in the 23's, i would be so happy. yay maggie!
and megan, who pr'd from last year by 10 minutes. i have to say, i would give a lot to pr by 10 minutes. you've been doing so well megan!!!!
i love you guys. you blow my mind with your speediness.
CONVALESCENTS SHALL RETURN! hopefully.
note my change of layout... i like this one. plus, i can start using different text colors. the green and purple is getting a bit old.

xc thoughts
i kind of forgot that i had a blog.
so homecoming was ok. it wasn't as much fun as last year's dances, but it wasn't horrible. i had more fun at the before and after parties and at the meet than i did at the dance, though. i wish i had felt better, because i feel like i could have had a lot more fun.
there seems to be a massive amount of xc people unable to run, and i am not happy about cutelli's "no runinng" plan. i know that rest is the best way to recover, but i am so upset that i have to miss the meet tomorrow and can't run until monday. i'm going to flip out if i still can't run on monday, because right now it feels like it's going to take longer than that to feel better. i don't want to take time off!!! i've pushed myself so much to get to this point, and if i get slower i'm going to flip. DAMN YOU KNEES!!! what makes me even more sad though is laura. she's hurt worse than i am and has put way more than i have into it. laura has to run! she's too adorable not to.
also on an xc note...
CARRIE I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! running varsity. *sniffle* little carrie's all grown up! expect me to be around every corner yelling random things at you "keep it up carrie! carrots are orange! let's go carrie! arnold had a football head! aaaaaaa!!!" i can get annoying. but i am still against those damn cowbells, so i'm not as bad as molly.
be proud of me. i actually have studied for the history test. if i fail, i'm going to put it on the book, because it's so freaking confuisng.

spikes!
i got my spikes today :)
they're florescent blue and florescent yellow adidas. and then the guy said that they were out of their spike bags (which i wasn't going to complain about, because those things aren't very good) so they were giving people saucony ones instead. and these had a shirts, socks, and stickers inside! so i got (for free!) a nicely sturdy spike bag, a blue shirt that says "RMAO" and has runners on the front, and on the back it says what that stands for- Run My A** Off. and the stickers say that too. so i was pretty happy :)
it's so nice outside! yesterday morning when i ran it was 54 degrees. i was so happy! and i just looked up the forecast and the low for tuesday is 48! i'm tired of it being hot. although i love shorts and tank tops and being warm, it just gets too warm. and i love hoodies and fleece pants and fireplaces and waking up to snow with a lack of school. but then i get bored with the cold. i like autumn and spring- not too cold, not too hot, and you're just happy that the weather is changing.
i hope we didn't have homework this weekend, because if we did, i forgot to do it.

meet
i remember exactly how nervous i was before my first track meet. it was that stomach twisty feeling that makes you think you have to pee, and also like you're falling.
and i am also certain that i felt five times as nervous yesterday befor the xc meet. there was a point in which i was literally shaking. but as it did with track meets, this went away the instant the gun went off. we started off as a whole p. west group until it thinned out a little bit, and i noticed that i was not next to the girls i had planned on running with. somehow, i had mistaken nicole for maggie, and when i noticed this i was pretty mad at myself. so i kind of pushed my way up ahead, but i couldn't catch up with maggie, which was kind of my goal. it was a very uninteresting course, and that made things a bit boring. but i got all sneaky, almost tiptoeing up on girls and running into the weeds to pass them. and cutelli was more competitive than i thought he would be. but i was happy with where i finished and i don't think i'll get as nervous again. next week's a HUGE meet though, it really is one of the biggest in the midwest. i don't expect to do overly well there, since there's going to be so much more competition.
i'm getting spikes tomorrow :)
