mad dogs



charlotte says ... First i would like to say i was disappointed that we did not have a game on saturday. i woke up so excited that we were going to play and my energy levels were high ... quite frankly i was a nuisance and my roommate was glad to see the back of me. before we got onto the pitch to train we watched the under 20's play the over 30's in a fun game and i wished i were 4 years younger (or 6 years older) - i could have played ...
Monday was not a good day coz had this sharp pain in my hip so i really did want to go for road work but i had to. i thought i would find a way to dodge running with the really fast sprinters coz of the pain ... actually after the first sprint i thought i had succeeded hiding myself in a group that is not so fast but Christine had noticed, and picked me out of it and put me in the group i was avoiding, that is with Helen, Joan and Hadijah. Easy for her (Christine) to do that, she was injured and was watching us sweat from the side. To forget about the pain and do the sprints really well, i used my special talent ... its called"imagination." i imagined myself being chased by hungry, fierce dogs and that i had meat tied on my legs. i know that sounds crazy but i had to find a way of pushing myself and it worked. Next week i should imagine myself being a superhero, you never know i could be as fast as superman ... but for now it's back to the reality of classes. i can't imagine a way out of that.
