long week

Long week last week, I had my first child last week. Her name is Makayla Faith Abram, and it was the best day of my life, sometimes I don’t even want to leave home, its crazy. I did not practice any last week because I was at the hospital with my girl friend the whole time. The whole coaching staff and my team mates have been behind me 100% me this whole time. They knew it would be a very stressful semester for me dealing with a baby, track, and school. It isn’t that bad though I have learned to direct most of my attention to her and it has been great. BACK TO TRACK…… Monday was my fist day back at practice here at Arizona State. We did 6 x 300 meters with 100 meter walk rest. I did 4 and stopped because my right quad started to cramp up on me. I think it was because I missed almost a week of practice and I had to get back into the groove OR the lack of sleep I was getting when the baby first came. The trainer told me that I need to drink MORE THAN ENOUGH water because having less sleep would lead to me being more dehydrated. Yesterday, we was on the grass doing a lot of drills like high knees and things of that nature, then we did 6 x 100 meter form runs and 6 x 100 meter form runs and after each we would do exercise. I felt pretty good……till next time….

Congrats!
