I went down to the meet at about 9:30 and it sounded like everyone had a bad race.
We warmed up at 11:30 and when we got back the 3rd heat had arleady started. Caden, Swaney, Joe, Josh Thatcher and I all missed our races. Lots of people were mad but I just left and ran the rest of my milage for the day.
I think we get caught up in the little things and sometimes miss the big things in life. I ALMOST qualified for BYU yesterday. I ALMOST got onto exec. I ALMOST made it on time for our 800m race. But life isnt about ALMOSTS, its about what acctually happens. Most of the things in my life have just been handed to me, like my house, family, education and desire for running. But if you are just handed somthing than you take it for granted. I complain sometimes about my life but im an (arguably) smart, decent looking, christian, white, landowning, literate, male. I shouldnt be complaining about anything. The stuff that means something to me is all what ive had to fight for. What Ive had to work for and work on, like relationships with people, my education, hitting the right times in track and cross country. I have to do every little thing, not just go most of the way or ALMOST give it my all. I have to fight for what I want in life.
