They are the reason I get through my long days! I love my teammates!
We had a work out scheduled this morning and we got the opportunity to train on Pomona-Pitzer's course. Because we are racing Regionals at Pomona-Pitzer in a couple of weeks, it was good to familiarize ourselves with the relatively flat and fast course. Thankfully, the course is very simplistic which definitely works in my favor. Despite how badly loop courses suck, my odds of getting lost or turning the wrong way significantly decrease. I honestly don't know how it is possible for me to fail so badly with direction when I literally run all over the place. I guess I like to keep things interesting. :)
The workout was successful. Minus the 400's that is. But that is besides the point; I know that I need to work on my leg speed and I am confident that in time, everything will fall into place. Before I start complaining, let me say that our hard workouts are almost always on my off days (Monday's and Wednesday's) so I don't have to worry too much about rushing to class.
I hate being rushed with a passion. My first class on Tuesday and Thursday's is Counseling and Interview Skills and I like to be prepared because it is one of my favorite classes. Another ridiculous, but very important side note is in regards to my outfit choice for today. I definitely knew that it was going to be a "look good/feel good" kind of day because I was extremely excited about my outfit.
Okay now going back to the workout. I usually have plenty of time to get ready on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Well today, scratch that. We got back to school at 8:40 and I frantically ran to the locker room. So much for the "cute" day. And so much for preparing for my mock counseling and interview session. To make matters worse, I had to forgo my only vice, a skinny vanilla latte, after my daily routine of waking up at 4:50 for practice every day.
It is a good thing that I don't have very high expectations for Thursday because my day didn't start to pick up after that. Although, I did get my latte. And we did get out of Astronomy a little bit earlier than usual which was a good thing. After spending over an hour and a half last week calculating the mass of the moon by hand, I was more than thrilled at the thought of getting home in time to watch Grey's Anatomy. No one should ever have to calculate the mass of the moon by hand, especially when Google is only a few hand movements and clicks away.
Basically, this was a pointless blog entry. However, I would say that it represents my Thursday's perfectly, and, therefore, my random tirade is appropriate and necessary.
PS. I am still contemplating my blog post about the Conference Championship race this past weekend. It will be posted after I figure everything out. Until then, goodnight and I hope you all had a more pleasant Thursday than I did.
