Okay. So this race was really cool. I didn't get the time I wanted. But that's okay. I loved running as one big team of girls. It was all unified. :) There were no labels or classifications. Just us. It was a great opportunity to have a pace setter, since usually I don't. I tried to keep up with Kerrie but I fell behind I think like...half way? in with the first mile. At least I could barely see her for most of it. I liked knowing I wasn't SO far away from all the varsity girls.

Running with Jessica totally made my race. I was so happy to run with someone on the team instead of some other girl who wouldn't even acknowledge me if I said good job or something.

She hepled keep me going faster and passing people.

My time wasn't perfect..it was just really really really average for me. But I don't mind..well kind of.. But I mean it's okay. Because I had a lot of fun the whole race. I think this was one of my happiest races. :)I finally get what you mean, when you said to just have fun. I always have fun after I'm done. I could never understand how you could have fun running under such pressure until after it's over. But I think it's kind of just accepting the pain and wanting to be where you are, doing what you're doing. Everything kind of just clicked into place when I realized I was doing something I like to do.
