Today was the All City Akron Middle School Track and Feild Championship. It seems like a big deal, but it wasn't that much different from the other meets. I ran, as usual, the 400m dash. When I was like halfway done, I heard some of the guys from Hyre going "C'mon Liz! You ain't got no worries! You go girl!" That pushed me hard. I also received a nice motivating phone call last night that helped me immensly :)of course, that stuff that kept me going was the cheering from my family and knowing that God was on my side. Just as I was about to cross the line, two other girls, one from Jennings and the other from my school, crossed at almost the exact same time. I was in heat 1. The main difference in this meet was that whoever gets in the top 3 from BOTH HEATS gets a medal, 4-6 place gets a ribbon. I evidently did not receive any awards because other girls from heat 2 pushed me back. But, its okay. I ran my heart out. I was soo nervous for this meet. I was praying soo hard that I would put thsi all in God's hands and whatever God wants to happen will. I don't know what I would do without God and prayer. Weak, that's what I would be. I know as a fact that I would not have accomplished many of the things I have if I never knew Him to go to Him for wisdom, endurance, and patience. --The boys 1600m relay team from Hyre was scratched because nobody could run it. I went up to coach and was like "You know, I would have ran it if you would have asked" because girls are allowed to run in boys' events, but boys aren't allowed to in girls. But, Dad told me "I don't think the guys would appreciate it if a girl ran in their event". I guess he's right, men can be like that. LOL, j/p :-D After the meet, I went home, washed up, and went to YG. I didn't eat any dinner so Dad bought me Arbys on the way home. Mmm, I Y Arbys!
