So, as I sit here on the flight home from Karolyi’s Camp… I’m thinking about everything that’s gone on in the past few days and the exciting new doors I see opening ahead of me.
Camp ended up going very well. I wasn’t able to do everything I wanted to do because of my knee, so it was more of a conditioning camp than anything… but I can only go up from here, right?! I’m finally getting close to the shape I want to be in and able to do the skills I need for my routines. I learned a lot at this camp and got some great insight as to how the world of gymnastics has evolved in the past couple of years…. And let me just tell you… THESE NEW GIRLS ARE AMAZING! Go team USA! Its exciting to get back into the system and see the hope for a fantastic future team. The girls are working so well with each other and the potential strength of what our team is capable of is incredible! We sure will be the team to beat
Now, don’t get me wrong, I still have a LONG way to go to be in contention for making any kind of team, but coming out of camp I feel motivated and excited to push myself into my first competition. The next camp we have is in 5 weeks and I plan on working my booty off so I can show up and prove to Martha that I am just as deserving for a spot on a team as anyone!
As for everything else… things are going good. My body feels pretty good. I have aches and pains here and there but that’s to be expected. My spirit and mind are in a great place and everything else in my life seems great, as well.
Oh yah, I am SUPER UBER PUMPED for the Superbowl this weekend!! AHHHHHH!! They are seriously my two favorite NFL teams. I am SO torn on who to cheer for! I have to say though, since I went to the Superbowl two years ago and saw my Steelers win… I’m going to have root them on for another title! I mean, that’d be pretty cool wouldn’t it =D
And finally, thanks to all of you… I continue to be amazed and so thankful for your kind words of encouragement and support. It means more than you know. ♥ you guys!
Until next time, SJ
