Today I woke up later than usually because we had a two hour delay for school. This delay messed me all up because I didn't have my regular sleep and eating schedule, but we pushed through. School was pretty good, it was a "b" day my least favorite day but I made the most of it. After school I went to run club and got ready for my race tomorrow.
