Reminiscing and positive attitude returning

So I pretty much spent today reminiscing over xcountry :). Thanks to a certain someone who wanted to see pictures :). Had a lot of fun, and even got some of my scrapbook done. I am writing in memories, and how bad is it that one of my memories is getting sick the day of the league meet and having to come in and tell Lisa (and yes Lisa I was actually kind of scared to tell you) I also remember how it went, she was really happy when she saw me (on my way to Mrs. Villa's room) then got scared for me (I had passed out at home) and dissapointed but not mad that I couldnt run (I shouldnt have been worried). For some things I have an absolutely amazing memory, for others not so much. Cross Country is one of those things I have a really good memory. Track too Michaela. Michaela I remember being upset that you were going to be my track coach because I wanted Lisa to stay being my track coach (once I realized she was staying for XC I was ok :)) and then being very happy that you were my coach once I met you. I only have through 8th grade partly done at the moment. Next comes 9th grade one of my best years in general :) Now you might think that this reminiscing would leave me feeling bad about where I am now, but it hasnt! It has actually left me feeling motivated for tomorrows run! I mean I ran a 5K (at Franklin Park) in 7th grade in 28:34, my place was 151/158 and look where I got to! I was running 5K's in 7 minute pace,Senior year when I ran the same course I came in 47th out of over 200 runners. I dont expect to get down to that again (if I do thats great)but it does leave me hope that I will improve :). It also has helped to remind me that the actual running and the commradere is what made me enjoy running so much and not the winning. It also has me looking forward to this week in general. I am also going into tomorrows weight watchers meeting knowing that I unfortunately didnt do my best this week. I am still working on the whole emotional eating thing, and this week was an emotional rollercoaster. That means I didnt pay the best attention to what I was eating. I will be happy with 1 pound weight loss but no matter what I will be fine with whatever happens as this week is a fresh start. I think I am starting to get some of my positive attitude back :). Also as I get further along on my scrapbook I will share some of the memories that I have put into the scrapbook.
