Steady Breeze

So yesterday I realized that I haven't made a post in awhile and that got me thinking about how life is going right now. Well first I want to say hello and welcome to any new readers, the one I'm thinking of is the one that got me thinking about how I haven't posted in awhile. So welcome and I hope you enjoy finding out all about me, from what I've been told it's quite fun :-) So on to other things ...

Life is good right now, really good actually. Everything seems to be going my way, in a more consistent way rather than obnoxious good luck, if that makes any sense at all. I mean classes are going pretty well and I only have one test and one quiz standing between me and spring break, which doesn't actually mean much for me considering the fact that I'm going to be here for track the entire time, but i'm not really complaining. Oh and my birthday will also be over spring break, I will no longer be a teenager, how exciting. So track is going well along with everything else. It sucks up all of my time and exhausts me on a regular basis but I wouldn't have it any other way. Because of track my social life consists of study parties in people's suites after practice, although some more than others :-) It kinda stinks that I don't see people that regularly but I chose to run track because I love it and because it's who I am. As I am so fond of telling myself recently, "I was born to run 400's." It makes me feel better before races and it makes me feel as though I am fulfilling some sort of purpose in my life. I don't get money from doing track, I don't get any extra accolades, all it does is take up time and energy, and yet without track who would I be? It's hard to imagine my life without track, without those two and a half hour workouts five days a week and track meets almost every weekend. i would have soooooo much more time if I didn't do track and yet I always laugh when people ask me why I don't quit. I can't explain it myself, or rather it would take way too much time to explain how track and I coincide. We''l just say that I am a track runner, it has made me who I am and will continue to until I can run no more.

Even though track is still the center of my life I find other things creeping in as well. I'm going to cut down on mentioning said things but let's just say that I have been very happy and content with how things have been recently. I am happy and content, more so than I have been in a long while. It's like having a steady breeze going through my sails. I still have to work my ass off of course but it doesn't require an abundance of extra energy to get things done, and I have found that I love it. I hope things continue as they are, or even get better. But rather than wishing for even better fortune I'm just going to enjoy what I have while it lasts.

Until next time, Shadow out :-D
