Track and Field Blogs - Natasha Bonina

So today I decided that no matter how much pain my scrapes gave me, I would race. My mind was a battlefield before I came to a decision. They really bothered me during the warm-ups, but not enough to completely discourage me. I forget exactly when, but after or during warm-ups I had a sort of epiphany. I could give back what that girl in the last meet gave to me. She struggled through her obstacles and still beat me. It was time to, in a way, avenge her. I had witnessed how she came out on top of her mental and physical impediments and now it was my turn. I'm not exactly sure how my running in this race would do such a thing, but I went for it. And I didn't do too bad, I guess. But it was a good race as Rebecca and I pushed each other. And then to make things even better, there was CAKE! haha...good stuff, good stuff.

Right...well, I should get to my homework and PSAT studying for now. Ciao!
