An inspirational daily journal by a professional track & field athlete dedicated to her dream.

Hey Everyone,

Where should I start!! Remember yesterday, I was a little unsure if I was happy that it was Friday or not! Well now I know Saturday wasn’t any better than Friday!! OMG so I had a substitute coach out there today, Trojan Horse; because my coach is on maternity leave. And you know with subs, you never know what to expect, are they going to be nice are they going to be mean you just never know!! WELL, Mr. Trojan showed me no mercy today (is it because I’m a BRUIN??)!!!! He had me burning and feeling pain I just didn’t quiet know existed! I was using muscles and attacking things in ways I’ve never done before I saw the light, but honestly today was great. Although, I was hurting and burning I know he wishes the best for me so I tried to catch everything he threw at me, on the field, and the knowledge he threw my way as well. Just one session with him has enlightened me and will contribute in making me a better athlete. With that in mind, it made the pain and everything worth it, I didn’t QUIT, I just pushed and pushed until I reached the finish. My eyes were opened today, and dots were connected that had just been sitting in my head as “to dos”. However, now that I know how they connect I know how to execute, Thanks Trojan Horse. EVEN THOUGH I CAN BARELY WALK NOW I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU DID YOUR JOB!!

Now that I have gotten a nice full week of training in, I can enjoy my weekend; OH YEA and FINISH MY FINAL lol, which is due on Monday so there will not be too much free play. I may catch up on a few movies and work. But I will be happy and satisfied knowing that I put in good work this week!! Talk to you soon and have a blessed weekend.

xoxo MacKenzie
