hey everybody-

okay so as you can see by my profile name i love both soccer and running...but honestly i love soccer more than running i know it sounds bad but its not by much.  so soccer is my main thing im not the best at it but its all ive known since i was little. i have a far brighter future in running but i honestly cant take it too seriously...i tried and almost got burned out..so this weekend i had to choose between going to an invitational hosted by our rival school or going out to san diego which is about a 1 1/2-2 1/2 hour car ride from where i live for a college showcase. at the college showcase there were garunteed college coaches to be watching our games. so i chose the college showcase. my coaches were not happy but i felt i was. i was optimistic about this weekend not knowing what was ahead of me because we were playing a division up which can be intimidating. we ended up winning our first 3 games 1-0 in our fourth game which was the semi finals we were nervous. we came in first in our pool but had to beat this team from hawaii to move on to today which was the finals. well we did it. it was tied 0-0 at half time and the final score was 4-0 so today we went to the championship. i know my track coaches were happy but also mad. we tied after 1 hour of play so we went into 20 minute overtime and were still tied so we had to go into penalty kicks (5 from each team) and we were still tied after the 5 kickers so we had to get 2 more to go and we ended up losing.  it was dissapointing but amazing all at the same time because of the fact that we could go so far in something nobody expected us to do good in at all!! at my game for the finals there were 8 coaches watching that i could spot and im sure many others trying to blend in! so i want to know what would you have done? gone to the soccer game or the track meet? well im exhausted so goodnight everyone (:
