holy mother of god. today was... grueling.
woke up with chloe! she came over yesterday and spent the day and night, and i got up at 7 first, for tennis, but it was raining so i went back to sleep after a call from amanda. woke up again around 10, made breakfast with chloe (yogurt and eggs like good healthy growing children). then i put her on a bus and headed to nathan's.
worked for three hours, which is good. first day in the new house, which is GORGEOUS. he doesn't deserve it. i put the computer together and helped james with the desk, then unpacked in the basement, boring boring. then it was 3, i left and got home at 3:20, had 10 minutes to get ready for the entire day ahead. i got all my stuff together and put a banana in my mouth, ran out to the car and pulled out into the street, realized i had forgotten my tennis racket, ran back inside (the dog went nuts), grabbed it, hit my shin on the sewing box (why the hell do we have a sewing box in the tennis closet?), ran out, made it to the school in 30 minutes because traffic on nine sucked.
anyway, tennis was fine. we had fun on the reject court. i planned to tell coach that i had a doctor's appointment, but he let me go early without an excuse. i left fifteen minutes before practice was over, rushed to the reservoir, and started cross country practice. i did MUCH better than i expected, a two mile workout (alone) without stopping once, which i did not think i could still do. it felt really good, too. then a 1.5 mile cooldown with some of the girls. it was really good. so i got home (sore and sweaty), called ward, told him i quit, called hein, told him i was in, and ate dinner and that was it. i wasn't sure about the decision at first, but tennis definitely wouldn't have been as fun this year. and this will let me get in shape, which i can only do if someone else is in control. i just don't have the willpower anyway. but all those girls are so in shape and so trained... they can all do the whole reservoir (5.1 mi) easy and i'm hardly even doing two, let alone three (the actual length of an xc race). anyway, it's done and i hope i don't regret anything, but i don't think i will.
tomorrow: pictures, xc, nathan's, h2k10 orientation.
LETS DO IT.
