What's New

Well this week is SPRING BREAK and I left the beach to come home! haha. It's always nice to be home but I've decided it's a great demotivator for my workout routine because it's been really cold outside and I don't have a gym. Oh well, guess I'll be playing catch up on my triathalon stuff soon. Also, when I get to come home, my time is limited so I don't want to spend it all working out.

This week, I went back to the cardiologist. They determined I have what's called vasovagal syncope. It's basically a dysfunction of my autonomic nervous system where my brain thinks my heart is beating too fast even when it's beating normally. So, it sends a signal telling it to slow down even though it doesn't need to be slowed. This extreme slowing plummets my heart rate and causes me to pass out. So, now I get to take a daily medication that should control it. It's good to at least know what's going on.

The rest of this week, I'll be at the NAIA tournament in Jackson. Then, on my way back down south, I'll make a pit stop in Auburn to see my Lady Raiders play in the NCAA tournament!!!

...oh and did I mention, I have a practical focused physical and two tests as soon as I get back?

In HIS love.

Sad Week..

This past Wednesday night, Tina Stewart, a member of the team I used to work with, the MTSU Lady Raider basketball team, was brutally stabbed to death by her roommate.

There are no words to describe the shock that something like this would ever occur, much less to someone I know. There are no words to describe the pain to see her current teammate's faces. There are no words to describe the gut wrenching words on her boyfriend KC's heart (who found her) when he said "Everyone keeps saying to focus on the good and not the bad, but that's hard when you know the good could have lasted forever." There are no words to describe the anger that rises up when I think about who could do such a horrible thing. There are no words to describe what I want to say to people who speculate when they know nothing about Tina. There are no words to describe the sorrow this tragedy has brought to the Blue Raider community, of whom I will always be a part.

My heart breaks in the midst of this horrible ordeal. My prayers and thoughts are with the Lady Raiders as they have chosen to continue on to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and play their first game tomorrow. GOD, bring peace, comfort, and YOUR indescribable love to us all.

In HIS love.
