Track Drama

        Hey, blogettes! It's me, Smiles again! Music appears to be really busy with something to write on this blog. Anyways, it's now spring which means the start of track season. We are two days into practice and I already have people bad mouthing me saying that I shouldn't be on the team because I bring nothing good when hello I did cross country so I was made for distance running. I know I may be slow now but I need to find the paces that work best for me and ease my body into it all over again. This prevents further injury of the ones I have and allows me to get in the best shape possible so that maybe as the season goes on I can push forward. Track is way different than cross country, and you don't have the people from the other school either.
        Those people were fun and very supportive and had a lot to offer. It was always a good time with them and I felt like I was needed and wanted on the team when here I feel like a reject and someone that is shunned and worthless while every one of my other friends seems to be having the time of their lives because no one else is bad mouthing them. I guess I have a lot to live up to being a cross country runner and all but you know what I think I have got this. Icy Hot has become my new best friend, and sweat my favorite accessory. Mint scents are something that really get me going too even though there is someone on the team that complains it eases the pain and keeps me focused on what we need to do.
        They were also insulting the choices that I made to run, and I was all like it's not that it will happen that I get to run in those things or at all. I may just be a back up who knows but get off my butt because I am giving it my all. I think that is what counts. Besides I am mainly focused on getting things in motion for cross country because that is my main sport as I enjoy it the most. Tomorrow is an easy practice. We are on;y lifting weights. Well it would be easy if I didn't have a pulled arm muscle already but you know what we will power through because we are awesome like that and we know how to work hard and fight. We got this covered. We can do this.
        I think that this will also teach me to stand up to people and show them that I am the boss of my life, and I know what's best and what I need to do for me. I know what I can and cant do and I know what I did and didn't do. I don't need people watching me and pointing out my every mistake and saying that I didn't do something when I was busting my butt and working hard to get there and finish strong only to find out that I supposedly had to do three more laps. Who knew a couple of eighth grade girls were the coaches and knew what was best for me. They just want to make me upset so I leave and well that isn't going to happen my friend. I know what I can and can't do. I am amazing. I am strong. I am crazy and I am fun. I know what I am capable of right now and I am pushing that to the max.
