catching up

Alright what has happened since I last posted?
I ran a couples run at the local airport... 2.5 mile race where you add your times together and yeah you get the picture. My boyfriend and I got third overall so that was cool. Only thing was I went out WAY too fast, especially because 2.5 miles seems so short!
I've taken my motor boat out a few times, got EXTREMELY sunburned and got stranded at 8:30 at night while panicking of course, but made it out alive haha. I got my hair cut about 7 or 8 inches off today, shortest I have had since I was about 8.
Today I found out one of my best friend's grandmother died so I will be at the wake tomorrow AND there was a boat accident in our local harbour. My two old sailing coaches were on the boat that was hit by a 52 ft powerboat, it split into two and one died, the other in the hospital. Just so happens that the coach who lived is the grandfather of one of the girls I babysit so I hung out with her pretty late today until they came home to tell her what happened, scary.
I'm getting really nervous about camp, well more so this time trial, but really excited. I've been organizing my closets and stuff ready to pack :). Oh, we have a meet at Disney?!

  1. That race sounds cool! :)
    you're a sailor? is there a female word for that? sailoress?
    lolol

    Haha don't be nervous about the time trial! lol i guess we all are though! even, and maybe especially, the upperclassmen who've run it a million times before. we know from experience how ridiculously fast the course can be, so it's crazy nervewrecking to think about the kind of time you'll run... it could be anything! eeeeee!!!!

    actually it's more about bragging rights than anything else since we have a pretty good record of teams in the past, and we compare ourselves (we're always faster!). Not to mention, the course is a bit short, so no matter what you do, you run fast! plus we run it again after camp, so you get another shot at it in case the first one doesn't go too well.

    Yes we have a meet at disney, but it's not in the park itself. it's around their sports complex, with baseball fields and such. not too exciting, but coach says there will be some good teams there, so it should be good.
