Last week was one long week. We left to Houston, TX on Monday, March 9th and didn't get back until the next Sunday afternoon...and did I mention we drove (16 hours on a bus each way). It wasn't too bad...I just missed home and felt bad for leaving Jake for so long. The running went ok. I was the last person on the list to get in the mile. There was a total of 14 and I was the 14th! I was pretty excited that I had made it...it was my first indoor nationals I had made it to. I knew it would be tough for me to get into finals so I had to run really hard. In prelims I ended up running 4:56.13!!! That is like a 5 second PR for me and it put me the 5th fastest in finals. Finals didn't go so great. I felt like crap and ended up getting 9th place...one place away from making All-American. I'm still so mad about it...but thats just life and I can't change it now. I am not satisfied, but am happy to have even made it to nationals! Now it's onto outdoors! I'm excited to race the steeplechase again!
These are just a few pictures of downtown Houston! It is a crazy place with crazy people and tons of tall tall buildings! I enjoy getting to see new places! The other two pictures are of the elevators in our hotel. It went up 30 floors and of course I made a few trips up to the top and back down. Every time it made my tummy tickle because it went so fast. It reminded me of the Tower of Doom...but of course not quite as scary!!! haha :)
