Practice

Hey, got back from practice. I'm on cross country! Skiing? Where do you live? No, no. Not that cross country. It's cross country running! Yay! I know whay you're thinking. Ewwww... Running... but I'm one of those crazy people who enjoy running. And most runners agree that you do have to be crazy to run.

"Running is a mental sport...and we're all insane!"

There's also a lot of awesome quotes on running. Here's one:

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It
asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong
today?'" - Peter Maher,
Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner

It really is fun though. A lot of work. But fun. My best 5 k, about 3.1 miles, is 29:17. Pretty good if I do say so myself.

However, sadly, this was last year. This year my time is A LOT worse because some medical issues popped up. Ugh. Here's a short explanation. You heard of acid reflux? Heart burn? Well I have that times about a thousand. It's a really bad case. So bad I needed surgery as a babe. So now, after last season, it got worse and now if I run as fast as I could, I'd get REALLY, REALLY sick. So... that's where I'm at.

On a side note, right now I'm in love with the song "Tangled Up in Me" by Skye Sweetnam. It's sweetness chilled. And that's it for today.
