Mikaela finishing at the E.J Herman invitational

I was going through one of my old notebooks and came across an old entry I wrote when I was eight. It read ” One thing I wish I was better at is running because I am really slow when I run. Because I get tired” well fast forward five years and I’m on my second year of cross country with a mile time of 7:36. Over the last two years I have greatly improved in running ( although I did not get to run  most of the season last year because I was in a boot) and I am definitely proud of all of my improvements although I did have some setbacks, like messing up my ankle from falling off the track, I was able to overcome those and work my hardest. Yes I may not be the best runner on the team, but I have fulfilled my eight year old self’s hope and I think that is pretty cool. So maybe one day I will get even better but for now I am proud of my accomplishments
