Things Change..

So, I'm in Cross Country, and I had a friend join. A GREAT
friend of mine. I love her to death. I was so pumped she
and I would actually get to talk more and bond more, and
run together, but it's something we both loved. So she
came out 2 weeks in a row, in the summer.
Until last Friday. She got really ill. She saw dots in
front of her eyes after her run, and went home, took
something for it, and ended up puking. She was
contaplating for a while, I guess on if Cross Country was
really something she wanted to do.

I got a call tonight, from her. I saw the caller ID and
thought, hey! She's just wondering if I can pick her up
tomorrow! My face lit up!
She asked if I had time to talk, and I didn't really, but
I said sure anyway, She told me Cross wasn't for her.
I was devasted. She was stuttering on the phone, and I
knew she felt bad, but I was devasted. I didn't know what
to say, so I quickly perked up, and started to make her
feel better, saying "Oh, yeah! No biggie, I understand"
because I truly do, It's just, I'm sad that she won't be
there to talk to, and we're best friends. Somehow we
manage to talk to each other, but I don't think we're
going to have much to bond with this year. I was really
hoping she'd stay with the sport. I'm still a little sad
about it.

But, I realize things change. You can't always count on
someone to stay on their word. Say there going to do
something, and watch them actually stick through it to the
end. I guess I understand what my coaches say when they
say it's literally a tough sport that no one is willing to
take part of. They're always cautious of new comers
because they say they're going to do it, and act
enthusiastic, until they actually see what Cross Country
is all about. I was kind of hoping my friend was
Different, that she would know that, it gets better as you
do it. But, I understand she has to work, and she's busy,
and doesn't need to run, but I think it would have been
really good for her, she was good for the way she started
out, I just wish she still stayed on the team...

But, like I said before,
things sure do change..
