Patience.....

Hey everyone,
Thanks again for sticking by me and watching the Boston Meet this past Sunday. It is always a pleasure to allow you all into my life when updating my blog. I am able to give you the real deal on my life as a track athlete. Shout out to Kayley for coming to support me at the meet, another Cincinnatian who attends school in Boston. I know she had fun meeting the athletes and of course seeing me run ha ha. I can say that this meet was not my best but again it was an opportunity for me to race with great competitors. Going into this meet I was very excited and pumped about being back into 52 shape...Lord only knows how long it took for me to get here since the Pika (18 months!!). The race from the start was not in my favor and I tried to push harder through the second half and by then my competitors were ahead and I was behind. I didn't execute Coach Wineberg's plan.....yes....my start was not the greatest.....ta-daaaaa!!!!!

I would have loved to win that race, but I placed 3rd and I can say that I am not a sore loser and was very happy for both Natasha and DeeDee. The women's 400 has always been a quality event and when you step on the line on race day you better have it or someone else will. I have always been a fighter but now I see that my fighter mentality has to go up a notch. I was not satisfied with my race and will make it better. Patience...is a must!!!!!

Which brings me to another good point....I hope I don't ramble on ha haha. But you all know through my hardships I have never complained, or blamed anyone, instead I have held my head high and allowed things to work there way out. I hate when athletes give excuses of why this or why that. In my case I could be full of excuses....Let me remind you all that I am an athlete doing it all on my own, no sponsor, no contract and just depending on the Blessings of GOD and my family. I take my downs and they push me to be better and I take the ups as a sign to keep moving towards my goal.

I am hungry for the Ultimate Goal: Daegu & London.....are you all ready for the ride? Thanks again for following...
