Weekend Thrills!

I have had a really exciting weekend! I kicked it off with a swim meet on November 20th. It was the Murray Thanksgiving Invitational, which is a really long, obnoxious meet. It does not function very well and that results in you not knowing what heat and lane you are swimming in until just before you race! I am not feeling my best right now so I didn't expect to drop too much time, but I was determined to swim my best. I was swimming the 100 fly, 100 back, and 200 free. Even though the 100 fly was only the 3rd event, it took 3 1/2 hours to for me to swim! I dropped another 1/2 a second off of the 100 fly, which puts me at a 1:03.33. I dropped time which meant we would be going to Crown Burgers afterwards! Then I swam the 100 back and gained 3 seconds! But I finished it strong with an 8 second time drop in the 200 free.
This morning I woke up at 7:00 and got ready to run a 5k! I was feeling even worse today then I did yesterday, but I decided I was well enough to run. It was extremely cold this morning and we didn't get started on time. By the time we had started, my feet had practically gone numb, so the first couple minutes of the 5k was tough on my feet. The last 5k I was at, I ran the entire thing right next to Stephanie Peeples, so I presumed it would happen again today, but unfortunately, I was feeling pretty good and moving pretty fast and left her behind early. I came in 5th and turned in a 20 minute 20 seconds 5k, which is pretty good for having a nose full of snot! After feeling like I was going to cough up a lung, me and my dad jetted over past Saratoga Springs to do some skeet shooting with my Teacher's Quorum. It was even colder out there than it was at the 5k and to make matters worse I didn't even hit anything! But we stopped at Costco on the way home and had pizza so it was pretty good. And that was my super awesome weekend!
