ughh kinda a rant.

intro:
So I just got back from xc camp with my team, where we did pretty much no running..
On sunday we had a "race" and I was barely in the lead for the girls. We were running on trails that were reallly rocky, and I tripped cut up my hands (no biggie..) but I smashed my knee on a rock and that really really hurt. My friend stopped for a second to help me up then kept running which I'm okay with. But what i'm not okay with is my coach,okay and kindda my friend.
Rant:
Soo my coach has been really pressuring me this year about making it to state, especially at camp after our little race (which I pretty much limped through..) my coach was all happy for my friend saying stuff like, oh your going to be number one this year (which again..no biggie) but then he started saying stuff to me about how I need to catch up with my friend and she's a good example. It just reallllly bugged me because, first I wasnt that far behind and it would have been easier if my knee wasn't screwed up. I'm not trying to make excuses or anything, but my friend wasn't even planning on doing xc (i just forced her to come run with us) but now she's like "oh since I'm faster then you I should probably join huh??"

AGAIN (and sorry) I'm not trying to make excuses of why i didn't win, I mentioned something to my coach about my knee which he looked at for a second and said it looked fine. DUH the outside wasn't that bad, the inside is what hurt. ughh now I feel like my coach is just going to ignore me and focus on my friend.. its just all frustrating...and my knee hurts =[

that would make me mad too

don't worry about what anyone thinks of your running besides yourself. just run hard this summer and have a great xc season.

that sucks
i made my best friend join xc and track, and hes our #1 runner, but thats not saying much since we all pretty much suck balls haha. but i dont really mind, cuz hes my best friend and all.

your coach sucks balls. you dont. you run, coach talks, you do what you think is right. good.

don't worry about anyone else's fitness or what their doing run your race if someone beats you be happy for them but next time go out and dune em.

I was happy for her..until she gave her little quote =/

she sounds stuck up
way to go 200 posts!!!

wooo!! haha I was going to say something, but I thought no one would care.

and she's not really stuck up, she just gets caught up in the moment.
I usually beat her alot in races though..at least in track, like in the 1600 I beat her by like 30 seconds, and I was sick. Maybe xc is her thing, oh I dunno. its okay, I'm kinda over it now haha

thats good

that sucks...stuff like that always happens to me, but when we had our little trial race, i saw the girl right in front of me and i used my mad kick to completely cream her....

....um, ew. haha sorry

that would make me mad too. my two friends joined track. not good. they weren't anywhere near me at all, but one of them acted like she knew everything. and had the nerve to tell me my form was wrong. okay. if it's so wrong then why am i way faster than you? rrrrr.

but now i've got a fire under my ass because there's a girl on xc that might beat me. she was kinda close last year. i just train harder.

Just wait until the first real race, and you can show your coach/friend who's faster... and if it doesn't work out, it will just give you motivation to train harder through the season.

Psh, I bet you could smoke her if your knee wasn't hurt. hehe

I beat our #1 in a 10k last summer, and the big 7 mile up the mountain run at camp. She has smoked me ever since.

yeah i know what you mean sometimes kids act that way on our team... but then track comes and the roles are reversed!

one of my nonrunner friends runs on a tredmill
and shes not really athletic
and shes like "whats your 5K time and im like 21:35"
and shes like "i just ran a 19:12 on the tredmill"
its annoying because i know she didnt actually run that, either her tredmill is off, or she doesnt know how far a 5K is, or she sprints, stops, sprints, stops until she gets there. and then im like well if your soo good do cross country, and shes like no..they obviously she knows she couldn't handle it.

there was a girl who lied to my caoach and said she ran 5 miles every morning and night and could do a 5 minute mile. i knew this wasnt true and she was a frequent liar (one time she said she had a certain type of cancer they rarely see and she didnt either didnt need to get kimotherapy or did the type that doesnt make your hair fall out.)so we made her join track , she sucked really bad making up excuses and had a 9:30 mile and blamed it on a teacher saying she made her drink milk. the entire thing was funny.
