conditioning. a fear no longer

Conditioning. A word that used to scare the shit out of me.
Seriously. I would do just about anything to not have to condition. I didn't want to fail and look like an idiot. That all changed this summer. I have never applied myself so diligently to a task. Last night we ran back from the park and paused and started walking for a split second until I thought to myself "What the hell are you doing? Anyone can walk. That sure as hell isn't going to get you cheering in college." So I started running again. When I got back to the gym, by the time I had caught my breath we were conditioning. I was determined to keep going. I never stopped. My legs already hurt and i would have rather sat and watched but I knew, I KNEW that this pushed me so much closer to my goal. So even though I had to take 3 Ibuprofen after practice and I can't move this morning, I feel so right. I know this is what I should feel.
I started partner stunting again this week with my coach. I hit my chair sit Monday. It's the first time I've flown since last fall so getting it back in 10 minutes was pretty good. Now it's time to move on up.
Guess where I'm going this weekend???? MARSHALL!! Mom and I are going for summer practices and I can't wait. I'm staying with a friend of mine who cheers there. I'm so excited. Yesterday I went and bought some cute new sports bras and sports bra tanks. I'm so ready! I'll be there ALL weekend. I think it will be a nice mini vacation for mom as well. Summer is driving her nuts. my brother and sister are driving her nuts and I'm really glad she's coming with me this weekend. She and I have bonded a lot this summer.
So this week is going to be filled with hard practices since we're off this weekend and a nice weekend to unwind but also keep working hard =]
