Recovering

Hello, I am back! I am very sorry that I have not blogged in ages but I was very ill all week the week before last, was very busy last week and then I fell a bit ill again this weekend, so I havent had much time! Right ok so lets go way back to the West Suffolk open meet. Right so I did ok on Saturday and got a pb on my 100m breaststroke which I was quite happy about and also one on my 200m backstroke, although I do think I could got a bit of a better time, I was very gutted about my 50m backstroke as I didn't get a pb or a very good time, and the same on my 50m frontcrawl, although I was close. I did ok in my 200m IM, although again I think I could of done better, but then again at the time I was coming down with a virius. I spoke to my coach Pete and he said that I must stay positive and that he thinks I don't beleive in myself and that I can do it, but it's all in my head and that I must stay positive and beleive that I can do it. Then I woke up on Sunday with a fever and a bad throat, so I couldn't go,which I was quite gutted about as that was the day of my 200m frontcrawl and 50m breastroke which I really wanted to try and get a good time in. Then I had to have the whole week off school because of my virius and fever, although I was determined to go in on Friday but after two lessons mum had to take me home and apparantly I looked half dead. Then I was better on the Saturday which was good as we had a wedding in Newcastle which I had been looking forward to. I had a great time at the wedding with my cousins and other family members and it was a great wedding. Then on the Sunday we all went to an all you can eat buffet! It was simply marvellous and such tasty foods to choose from! Then we headed home. Then last week I got back into my swimming regine, which was tough and I was very tired Friday after getting back into swimming, netball and all my other sports, and I also ran an 800m at school which i won, which also made me very tired. I have started to get back into the swing of things and my coach had a talk with me. He said that I was at the point where I was doing really really well and then an incident happened which he knows did effect me even though I said it didn't and then I was ill and now I need to get back to doing really well, which he said is going to be hard but I must push myself in training and keep on working hard because he is starting to look at groups for September and he really wants to coach me but I need to get back to the point of doing really well so that he can coach me. I am now going to really push myself in training and get back to where I was. Then yesterday I was sick in the car and later on in the night so I going to have had to miss my swimming and karate today, but I will be back into it again tomorrow.

I'm ill

Hi, I am very sorry but I am unwell this week and will be back online when I'm better.

Preparation

Hello! I went back to school today after my day off for the dentist yesterday which didnt go so well... I fainted. The needle to numb my gum really hurt and I had to have it top and bottom gum and I got really worked up and started feeling dizzy and hot then when she had finished and was putting the chair back up I just fainted. I woke up to see the dentists face looming over me and calling my name. I was only unconcious for under 10 seconds and it was the first time I had ever fainted and my mum had never seen anyone faint so it was a weird experiance for both of us, well for me anyway, as once she knew I was ok my mum started laughing and said that she wished she had filmed it as aparantly I looked very funny! But I still got my two teeth taken out, although I have to go back in 3 months time to get the root of one of them taken out. So yeah it didnt go that well. Then later that night we had some friends round and me, my best friend Millie, my brother Monty and Millie's brother Archie had a hilarious time and made some very funny videos! Right then I didn't go swimming toight as I have a very important event this weekend its the West Suffolk open meet! We have an early start tomorrow and Sunday and we stay there the whole day on both days. I have been waiting for this a long time and I am quite excited. I really hope that i get some new pb's and that I do well,but i know that I musnt think about the times and that I should just go out there and swim because if I get nervous to much it will effect my swim. I am really excited and am now getting an early night for tomorrow, so night night and I will feedback on the results as soon as i can!

Getting better.

Hola! I am now at home,as I am not going to school today, because I have got the dentists and there is no point as I cant eat or talk  because I will have two cotten things in my mouth, which is also the reason why I cant do pe today so really there is no point going into school. Right well Wednesday morning went really well as I was second in the lane when we did the breaststroke which I was quite happy about as I havent done well on my breastsroke at all and I havent got a new pb in ages so I am hoping that it is another good sign that I have improved and hopefully I will get a new pb at West Suffolk at the weekend. Then Wednesday night I had...my first Essex Netball Academy camp! I was really excited and looking forward to it. It lasted for 3 hours! One hour for theory where we learned all about nutrition and all the things we need in our diet and about high GI and low GI and that we must stay hydrated. Then it was two hours of netball training, we practiced our ball skills and about finding space. There were a few girls i recognised from other clubs and the trials, overall i got some really good advice out of it.
Then this morning I had the usual training session, and I think that it went really well. I worked really hard and then got ahead and led the lane! It was quite a hard set the first set we did  and i was tired after it. I am quite tired after this morning but haven't got school today so I might be able to get a bit of rest in, maybe a little nap.

A good sign!

Bonjour! I am about to get a ready to go to my usual athletics and then netball. If i am honest i do feel a little tired, probably because of swimming this morning. Talking of swimming this morning, the session today went really well! I worked really hard and i managed to lead the lane for the whole session, which was a change as it has been a long time since i led a lane, although i did have a bit of a blonde moment at one point! I like to think that it is a good sign for the weekend! Although unfortunately i will have to miss Thursday night training session as i have the dentist, where i will be having two teeth taken out! Which if i am honest i sort of have mixed feelings about this as i am nervous but also get to miss school and also i am also having to miss a important training session.

Preparation for the weekend.

Hello am now just going to bed ready for swimming in the morning and i have had a nice relaxing day as there was no swimming on as it was a bank holiday. The days are counting down towards West Suffolk so i really need to get out as much practice as i can in these next few training sessions in preparation for the weekend. So night night!

New laptop!

Hello i am now blogging from my new laptop! My dad brought this laptop for my homework and because of all the hard work i have put into my sport, mainly my swimming, and it was quite funny because we went into comet just to buy me a laptop and we came out with my new laptop but also with a new bigger tv for my parent's bedroom and a massive new 3D tv! My dad said it was because our old tv was broken,but i could tell he just couldnt resist it! Ok right so, yesterday night i went to my friend Harriet's 13th birthday party1 It was really cool and i had a great time with my friends, which means a lot of dancing! Unfortunately my brother Monty was to ill to go and is still ill today, i really hope he is ok for the weekend as he is also taking part in the West Suffolk open meet and is 0.05 seconds off his 200m backstroke regional time! So i really hope he doesnt have to miss out! Tonight was a good training session, i did quite well, although i did slow a bit towards the end of the set, but i actually enjoyed the set tonight. Tomorrow there is no training as it is bank holiday Mondday so its a relaxing day for me!

Working towards my goal.

Heyo! This is going to be a quick blog as we are about to leave to take my brother Monty to his football training. Right Thursday morning was quite a good session and i worked hard. Then Thursday night i was quite tired and i didnt do that well and i wasnt doing very well. But i still worked hard. Then on Friday night i wasnt doing well on the pre-set which was pulling with a pullbuoy and i was very behind as i am not as strong as other people in the lane. I fear i am slowing down so i am really trying to get the best out ofd the sessions before the West Suffolk open meet which is coming up soon. But then after a short talk with my coach ,and him telling me to really work hard this week so i can acheive my goal to get an essex county time at West Suffolk, i worked my way back up the lane and the rest of the session went well i think as i pushed myself and worked hard. Today have got a nice relaxing day and then a party tonight, yay!

Wednesday morning

I am now in the car on the way to school. I have just been swimming and it was a good session,although my legs do hurt, as our coach let Charlie choose the main set, which was 16x100m kicking! But i still really enjoyed it. I am going to have a nice early night tonight as I am really tired, and i was in a grump this morning and my bag wasnt packed and it was stressful and then i was late out as i was messing around a bit with my friends so my mum got a bit angry. I don't want to go through all this again so that is why I am having a nice early night and I will be nice and refreshed in the morning.

Hard work.

Hello! Ok so Monday night was fine, but at first i was a little bit tired and was feeling a bit slow, but then on the main set my coach told me to push myself and me and my friend Charlotte were using each other to push ourselves. She was pushing herself to overtake me and i was pushing myself to hold her off. It was hard work and a long set and we both kept pushing ourselves and each other. Overall it was a good session. Then this morning was quite a relaxing, calm session. I worked hard but it was calm and relaxing because not many people were there. Then tonight i have got the usual netball and athletics.
