I'm Not Alone. I Have Books

Counties were today for track. Minor setback when I was stretching and had a major knot in my calf form. That was extremmelly painful. (Stine this is for you since you're in Hawaii and I can't tell you but if I don't write it down I'll forget.). So we rubbed it for 20 minutes before my race and it still was killing me. Hedge attributes this too poor stretching, nerves, and not drinking enough water. All probably true...But by the time I had to walk down to the starting line I will still in pain and pretty much figured I was doomed.

Apparently this was not the case however seeing as how I came in first in my heat with a pretty good time (16.8 unofficial). So the knot in my calf muscle didn't hinder me at all...

The way they break down the county is three class A, AA, and AAA. Each class has two heats of 8 people. They scatter the people by time in the two heats. So the fastest person goes in heat one the next in heat two the next in heat one and back and forth. So I was seated second in the AA county and was in heat two. By winning that heat I advance on to tomorrows final round. I'll race 7 other girls for a County title...and if not an All County title...And hopefully my leg doesn't hurt by then...because right now its 11:34 and it's killing me.

This idea comes from my blip archives. I save all the pictures I found while surfing the web that interest me or inspire me. So if need be at a later date I can do a spin-off or a re-creation if I need a blip. This one was based off a picture of a pile of books with a quote written across saying "I'm Not Alone. I have books" Love that quote. Been so true for me at times.

"Nobody wants to admit to this, but bad things will keep on happening. Maybe that's because it's all a chain, and a long time ago someone did the first bad thing, and that led someone else to do another bad thing, and so on. You know, like that game where you whisper a sentence into someone's ear, and that person whispers it to someone else, and it all comes out wrong in the end. But then again, maybe bad things happen because it's the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like."
