it's been a while
I don't feel like elaborating about much of anything, because anyone who should already knows my story and if you don't and you want to give me a call. I'm here in Lake Placid training for worlds, doing the thing I love most, but I'm in a funk. I am totally not loving this. My teammates (well, more like half of them) are awesome and keep me laughing, but I feel totally... drained. I'm frustrated with my body and my coaches and this whole experience. I know that when all is said and done, it will be a totally incredible experience. Racing at the international level is nothing short of amazing. But right now I miss home and everyone there. And I'm frustrated with doing everything I can and doing really well and still not meeting my goals because of things I can't control. And I hate rehabing an injury I have no idea how I got. And I hate that my favorite people and the ones I care about most are 7 hours away by plane (or will be there shortly). Things will get better, they always do. I won't lose my optimism and enthusiasm. I'm sick, but this is what I love to do, and I'm glad to be here.
