Hey, blogettes! A day that actually exists even though it sounds like I just made it up and really shocked me is going on tomorrow. I mean who knew that there was a day where people just randomly go up and hug runners. Their motto is that they want runners and those people who aren't runners to share the sweat or get involved with running because it is a day where they get a lot of attention and have fun. I'm planning on making memories with an amazing run after school. It is a legit day that some countries recognize as a holiday and they have footraces for it, and runners get all sorts of perks in those countries. It's actually shocking to see how some places really go all out. Here it is just another day. I want to change that though so that people that run do get hugs, and at least some form of attention because tomorrow is their day to shine. It is their moment to have attention that the other athletic people probably get year round for the most part.
Anyways, so tomorrow hug every member of the cross country team, and any other runners that you can thing of, even if you don't know them or like them, and tell them Happy G.O. H.A.R.D. (The D stands for day so you don't have to say day because it would sound weird when you would have to explain it if the person didn't get it)! Most runners will know what you are talking about. Others might be clueless and then tell them what was said above as the title of this post because I am sure that if you didn't read the title that some of you ladies would be completely clueless as well. It doesn't matter what gender of runner you hug tomorrow. Just let them know that you observe their day and will acknowledge them and try to tell others to do the same.
They have just got to be plain runners, like all you do is run and there is nothing that you have to run and get or go after, or train so that you have strong legs to support positions that you have to be in, so if you are in any other sport besides cross country, track, or recreational running, then this day tomorrow doesn't apply to you, sorry. Then again, you have super fans and what not that raise awareness for you on game days. The only time that we got awareness was on the morning announcements and when we made it to state those runners had special locker decorations, and yeah yet no one bothered to pay attention or acknowledge the fact that eight middle school runners and three high school runners made it to state this year. That is pretty good coming from a school as small as ours and teaming up with a larger school where everything is go big and go hard or go home because you aren't going to make it very far if you even make it at all. Next year that is going to me having one of those special locker decorations that I think I would be so good to be forced to go to state even when there were no other girls from my team that were my age that would be going which was the case for one seventh grade girl this past season. She was trying to find a team to go with her, but I was injured and besides not even close to being good enough to go, and everyone else was too busy or was too nervous to compete on such a high level as that.
Anyways, tomorrow I am hoping that it would be awesome for me since tomorrow is my day, and no one is going to ruin it, or I will try not to let people change me and stop me from shining my light brightly tomorrow. I am going to rule it and really show running pride. We are the future of this world as runners because we are able to stand strong through anything especially distance runners because we go through pain on a regular basis and we are always fighting to get better. We are never happy with our performances because every time we train we can always give more and do more. We can always get better and learn. That is what I have seen looking from where I am now to the season that I had. I want to show them how we do it, and how we party. I want to show them what being a runner also does to your overall life besides making you fit and healthy, and gives you the ability to do more and see more. I want to show them how better people run. We stay sane that way, and we are nice and grateful for what we have been so blessed with and by.
