Lazy

I don't know what is going on, but I think I'm getting lazy with track and my WISE requirements.

For track, I know for sure I've been putting in work at all my track meets, but for my practices, I've noticed I haven't really been doing anything on the days that we have tough workouts. If I was to come up with excuses, one would be because of my intense shin splints and two would be because I'm so tired!!!!! After my meet on Saturday, I have felt extremely tired. I've been going to bed at a reasonable time after my meets (before 11/11:30). After Invitationals meets, I usually get home around 9/9:30. Now, I am also thinking to myself that I've been fooling myself with this illusion that I been putting in a lot of work and I need time to rest. To some extent, I do believe I need some time to rest. So far, I have been doing 4 events each meet; that including 2 400's, a 200, and high jump. Not bragging, but I am the best 400 runner on the team, so I can see why the coaches are dependent upon me so much, but the 400 is a very exhausting race, and doing that twice every meet, I feel it is putting a lot of stress on my body. I take ibuprofen before each meet due to my shins hurting so bad, just so I can get through all of my events.

Today, I think that enthusiasm that I use to have is finally returning. I need to push through until the very end and don't let little things get me down. I will continue to work hard and try to find a way to deal with my shins so they don't hurt so much during practice. No need to be all gloomy during practice and having people worried about me. I need to laugh it up with my teammates, be myself, and just go out there and do what I got to do to get the job done.

Now for the WISE requirements, all it takes is for me to make myself sit down and journal or research. I need to get out of this rut once again and get a move on. I just want this to be OVER ALREADY!!!!!
