Let's DO THIS!

Yes.

I hope to get to go to OFSSA. To do this, I must be a top 3 individual, or in one of the top 2 teams. Since our Senior girls team always gets dead last... I must be a top 3 individual.

I got 10th at Bay of Quinte, and many of the people ahead of me were in the top 2 teams. So if you remove them... I would be 4th. The person I have to beat ran about 1:30 faster than me.

I think I might be able to shave 1 minute AT LEAST off my time. Then hope the adrenelaine will really kick in.

What one of the coaches.. not even a coach, just one of the gym teachers at my school said "Everyone at Cross Country wants the same thing, everybody has the same mindset and the same goal"

I agree. I can't agree more. But I want this... so bad. I feel like I can do it. I know I can. I can push it at COSSA. BUT WHAT DRIVES ME COMPLETELY NUTS is the way this is run. I have to qualify at cossa.. but if you look at ofssa's times from last year... I would've made 113/245 runners. So even though my time is amazing... I still won't qualify because everyone at cossa is really good.

Brb let me go switch districts.

Anyways, in other news, I am thinking I will do varsity cross country in univeristy. I was looking at the times at universities I want to go to, and yeah, I am going to get on the team. My time is about average of theirs. Maybe a bit higher.

UGH!

Anyways, my personal best is 22:13

I am trying to get it down to 21:00

Let's do this?

Yes.

Anyways, I have to do this by next wednesday. So I am going to all practices, I am going to run on Saturday, rest on Sunday, but I might do 2 runs on Monday and Friday (one in morning one afterschool) just so I can get in the extra practice.

If I don't make ofssa, well I can't really complain... well of course I can.

But nobody in moira in cross country has made ofssa in years...

Also, so far none of us have gotten any awards at any meets.

Kinda sucks.

But oh well. I wish I started this younger, but I am doing it now, and that is all that matters!
