The first day was Monday, and the second was today. I have really mixed feelings about the whole thing. On one hand, I'm realy happy!!!! I've been bugging my mom to let me do it for years, since the summer before 7th grade and now I'm going into 10th. She always had pretty useless reasons, like that she didn't want to watch meets or drive me home from practice. Also, I really like running, there's no chance of me being whacked in the head by a ball, and it's bin my only sport since September, when I had to quit gymnastics because I hurt my ankle and four-five months later when it was finally better I knew I wouldn't be at the same level I had before. And I'd gone back levels so many times it just didn't seem worth it anymore. Also, my mom had kind of scared me away from it because she told me I was going to fall on my head one day and kill myself, and so I hadn't been doing well anyway even when I was there, especially since last May I actually did fall pretty hard dering a bunch of fast series of flips from 6 feet up onto my neck and shoulders and tore a bunch of muscles. (You do not know pain until you tear your back, shoulders, and neck, then have to walk around for 7 hours on a school field trip a week later.)
Anyway, I'm rambling. The bad part is that I'm just really tired. I get up at around 7:15 on xc days, which is fine because usually I'm up by 8 by myself. But then we run for 30-35 minutes (it'll increase to 75 by the end of the seeson, as of my current pace I bet I do about 4 miles in 30-35), and do 50 push ups and sit ups, and then go to the weight room and lift weights and do stairs and squat 45 pounds on our shoulders. All of this wouldn't be as bad if afterwards I could go home and do nothing for th rest of the day. But I've maybe had 20 minnuts to myself all day, and I was already exhausted this morning from doing a ton of stuff yesterday. I've barely had time to eat today before running off to something else. But hopefully, today will be the worst day....
(Also, I'm to tired and lazy to spellcheck this... so sorry. It's still readable.... I hope.)
Good luck with your Cross Country. I'm personally not into sports and Gymnastics......I feel so bad for you, I don't know how you could cope. I can barely even handle school gymnastics which involves jumping on a trampet then leap frogging over high box. :/ So yeah.....I'm just focusing on going to the gym.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D It was bad, but it got better. I miss gymnastics now, but I know I can't go back because of mental blocks and all that. That's okay, I understand. Good luck at the gym!!!
