Treadmill at Hotel:
3 miles
…
One word for that run. YUCK.
I don’t know what it was exactly, but I just wasn’t feelin’ it. I was texting my best friend Lela after the run, and she said her run that morning wasn’t that great either, and when I went to my meeting today, Mr. Cherry (Assistance Executive Director for KSHSAA) said his 4 mile run this morning was bad too!
I tried moving over to an elliptical, but that didn’t feel good at all.
Did anyone else have a bad run?
…
After my yucky run, I had plenty of time to hang out at the hotel and get ready for my all day meeting starting at 10 and ending around 2:30-3.
Now you ask, “She’s in high school. Why is she at a meeting in Topeka with the Kansas State High School Activities Association? She’s too young to be going to meetings!”
Well, random citizen, I am a member of the Student Advisory Team. I was chosen out of all of the 6A Schools in Kansas my sophomore year to come to these meetings and represent the rest of the 6A Schools in Kansas. What I do at these meetings is provide input from a student’s point of view on things happening in our schools with athletics/ activities.
Like for example, one thing we talked about today was that there is a bill that is trying to be passed to let a single parent from each school in every town be a representative of that school at meetings, to vote on things, etc. These parents would have as much say in matters as the Principal or AD of a school. Here’s the thing. Most parents in Kansas think KSHSAA is running a dictatorship. Uh… No. They want this bill to pass because they think that KSHSAA is “out of touch” with students, unlike parents.
Well, let me ask you kind folks that if KSHSAA was “out of touch” with students, then why the heck have they been having a team of students from all over the state come to KSHSAA’s office twice a year to talk to them about what they like/ dislike for over 16 years?
Totally out of touch.
I’m very against this bill. I trust KSHSAA, and I know for a fact that most parents would be single-minded and not want to listen to anything KSHSAA says or is trying to work for. Just to be honest.
…
Okay. Now you know a tiny bit about what goes on. They ask us our honest opinions and we agree to disagree on things between us students. They just want to know what life is like from our point of view.
…
So the rest of today’s post is pictures! YAY!
Enjoy!
Yummy Chicken and Fruit Salad from Chick-fil-A! I loved this place! It was so clean and fresh!
Got a new mini running water bottle! Yay!
New PureCadence2 shoes. Picked out with the help of Tamie!
Before this morning’s run on the TM! Got some Sports Center on!… Well… Before I changed it to NCIS.
After the 3 miles with a yucky-sweaty face.
Probably the first time I’ve worn something other than running gear in like… 2 weeks.
I received a pretty neat plaque from being a member for the past two years!
Getting the award from Mr. Cherry. Probably one of the coolest people I know.
I hope you guys had a great Wednesday!
Tomorrow I will be on the road once again! I will be leaving for Utah to go watch my dad and brother race! I’ll post a lot of neat pictures, I promise! But the race isn’t until Saturday, so you’ll have to stay with me! 😉
Run on.
