Honeymoon Suite: Loving, exhausting, fun,
and interesting are only a few words that
can describe what cross country camp was
like for the 2009 Lady Cougars. For
two days and three nights, we were able to
not only have an amazing time, but grow into
a united team. We stayed in Apple
Valley at a house that could easily be used
to film a horror movie, but most people went
there for their honeymoon. There was
definitely love in the air. The first
night we were all there, over half of the
team was in the hot tub. We looked out
and noticed that there was
an axe just
sitting there. That scared us for
a bit and also made us laugh, but did not
stop us from getting to know each other.
For us girls, the best part of the trip
had to be getting ice cream! We eat
just as much, if not more than the guys.
Caitlin Campbell could easily out-eat anyone
from the entire team (she did receive second
place in a wing eating contest last year).
One big perk from running is that we can eat
almost anything we want without gaining
weight!
While camp was fun, everyone also worked
very hard. We ran around fifty miles
the first week back. There were many
times when we were upset at Coach Wilson for
what we had to do for practice, but it
helped us prepare for our first meet at
Shawnee State coming up on September 4th.
Getting close with the teammates helps us
push each other during meets. We all
want to do the best that we can to help out
the team as a whole.
We all have so much motivation to run and
do the best that we can.
Coach Wilson is
such an amazing coach, and we want to be the
best so that he is proud (and I have never
seen him frown because he is always proud of
what we accomplish). Also, the
friendly competition that we have with
fellow teammates helps us a lot. While
we love each other on the team, we also
strive to be the best. Lastly, we
could not do this if it was not for God.
He has blessed every single member of this
team so much. The fact that we are all
together is a blessing, and we run to
glorify His name.
