Oh my gosh.
Let me just say AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this was sooo freakin amazing!
I spent the whole week going over the race and i visualised it a bizzillion times. I wanted to get somehwere in 25 soo bad! I mean I told myself if i got atleast 27:02, my previous PR id be okay since I was injured.

The beginning was tough, there were alot of people and it was a tight squeeze and it took like half a mile to get into a comfortable place where i wasnt elbow to elbow with people.

The first mile was great! i felt great and I was just kept telling myself believe, and what doesnt kill me makes me stronger and I was with tasha for a while and we were pushing each other. I tried to keep my eye on her but I was so focused on the girl in frontof me that I lost sight of tasha;she did great by the way!

Second mile I'm not really sure where that was because there was no indications but i assume it was the 2nd lap and I was feeling pretty good, i wass so tired but I just didnt think about it. I lsot hope for a split second, but I gained it all back when I looked at my hand. I just kept smiling and i put my thumbs up to help keep me positive

The rest of the race was great! I sped up with i dunno maybe 400 to go, and i was going pretty fast for me! these two borah girls helped me quite a bit, and Iknew i had to beat atleast one of them, and I did :]
I just i started sprinting as soon as I could see that finish line, slowed a tad then sped up again. The guy at the end was holding my arm up, I thought I was going to faint!!!!!

I got 25:52.19 offically!
A PR by a minute and 10 seconds! Aww man I was soo happy, especially compared to last week:28:33. I was so nervous cause I didnt know how my legs would act and stuff but ibprofen works well:]
That enery supplement drink stuff tasted so nasty but i bet it helped me!

I'm very sad that xc is over! Our team is amazing! I love you all! You all inspire me soo much! I will miss all the seniors a ton!! Everybody did fabulous today! I am loosing my voice tehehe. I was screaming so loud at our team!:]
Nate even told me that I helped keep him going, which made me feel good:]

I will miss xc so much and you coaches are amazing! I cant wait til next season! I will be in better shape coach! :]

I love cross country!
Whoo.
Go WARRIORS!! YEAHH!:]

I'm adding some more now:]
Wow I just cannnot stop smiling!!!
i am SOOOO sore and my calves feel like they have been doing a month of nonstop conditioning but its soo worth it dude!
I had to wake up super duper early this morning for a student council thing, and I smiled cause i was soo sore:]
I love running so much:]
i was comparing all my times and My first race was 29:45 and my last race was 25:52:]

I feel great:]


Sorry;adding one more thing!
I cannot stop visualising my race!
Even though I had some tough, emotional times this season that one meet made up for all the disapoitment!
I feel so greatt i just cant stop smiling, I'm so sore but its amazing that I can feel this pain;its a token of how hard I worked.
All I had to do was believe in myself and it worked!
sorry this is so long:]
