I have a story to tell you.
So once upon a time, there was a girl, and her name was...Olga :). She was involved in the sport of cross country, and she started out being awful and not even caring. Then came her older years, where she started running with her sister during summer and winter. She started to exercise more.
After a while came the cross country season for her 5th year. She started out being horrible, but as the season went on, every meet she ran she made a P.R. This went on until last week, where she did awfully on her run. She got almost 3 minutes worse than her best time. But she will just blame that on the fact that she was hurting and that the course was longer than it should be.
Then Districts came, a week later. Today, in fact. She was dreading the run, thinking that she was again going to do badly because it was the exact same course as last weeks. Turns out that they had cut some of it off, so it was as it should be.
So she started the race with her sister, knowing she could keep up with her if she didn't start hurting again. Olga doubted that she would get a decent time though, because it was ridiculously windy.
Running in wind is THE MOST tiring thing in the world, if you didn't know this.
Anyways, she ran the race, and was absolutely exhausted at the end. For the first time this season, she had to walk because her body physically could not go on. Walking had always been needed because she was cramping, her stomach hurt, her knee hurt, she couldn't breathe...something like that. NEVER because her body got so tired it couldn't carry on. That just had not happened yet.
This was a new experience for her. She only realized how tired she felt when she was running with the wind, because when she was running against it all she was focusing on was beating the wind.
But alas, she and her sister finished together, for the last time (her sister is a senior :( ). Olga expected to have done awfully again, due to the course and also to the wind.
You can only image her shock, surprise, and absolute freaking JOY when she figured out that she had finished with one of her best times, 28:02 minutes!!!! This is her second to best P.R.!!! She was ecstatic, and it turns out that many other of her team members had also P.R.ed!!!
And, to make things the best ever, both boys and girls won District!!! And they are HECK yes going to STATE!!!!! Her team was very noisy in their excitement, but hey, do it loud and do it proud!
MY LIFE HAS BEEN WONDERFUL TODAY!!!!!!!
P.S.) Olga=ME!!!
P.S.S.) Olga isn't my real name. :)
