feeling missed three training
I wasn't that ill. I only missed three days. I'm feeling better now and I've been training well for this meet.
cross feeling finishing hold hope knew last letting medals reason taking win won
I knew that I could win in the last lap, with about a half-lap left. I knew I had better finishing speed, so I was not demoralized to see her taking the lead. I wasn't feeling very well. I had some stitches, and that was the reason (for letting her hold the lead). I won with God's will, and it was very hard...I hope to take many more medals in cross country.
