My so-called FABULOUS life: I gave my best...
http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-gave-my-best.html
Monday, July 2, 2012. I gave my best. Thank you for letting me share this story with you. I wanted more than anything to be an Olympian and to have that. Be my story, but it's not. My story is that I'm an Olympic hopeful. And that hope fueled a dream, created my desire, transformed it into will, and produced a drive in me that made me who I am today. It just didn't make me an Olympian. But I am still super proud of who it did make me and the work I've put in trying. You jumped your ass off yesterday Bri!

My so-called FABULOUS life: small things, big lessons
http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2009/04/small-things-big-lessons.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Small things, big lessons. You know what makes competing overseas such an enjoyable experience? Having fans. It is such a different experience from the meets we have in the states where track and field is not such a popular sport and where the athletes aren’t really admired in the same way. I remember my first encounter in Europe after a meet where people came up to me asking for autographs and pictures. So this is what Kobe feels like! A few questions for you:. 5) If the 200 i...

http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2012/05/art-of-being-positive.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. The Art of Being Positive. I was talking with my friend yesterday and she asked how my ankle was doing. Girl, that is so last week,. That I stay positive,. My road is a bit bumpy right now but I haven't lost sight of my destination. Of course I would have hoped for a smoother ride, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter, does it?

My so-called FABULOUS life: In Eugene
http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-eugene.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. In years past and find out what does and doesn't work all that well for me. Of course at the time I didn't know I was experimenting, but because past experiences can be our best teacher, I have learned over the years what kind of person I am not and shouldn't pretend to be. Don't be a social butterfly. Know who you are. Believe your toolbox is full. Have you ever tried to cram for a test? Stayed up all night trying to learn things you didn't bother to learn throughout the semester?

My so-called FABULOUS life: Qualified!
http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2009/08/qualified.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. I’m sure most of you know by now, but I have qualified for the Long Jump Final at the World Championships here in Berlin. I don’t want to make the moment seem so fairytale like that it seems as if I’m putting extras on it. If I’d have had it my way, I would have jumped the automatic distance on the first jump and got out of there before the rain even started pouring. But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…rarely is our plan, His. My first jump. (Notice how dry I am).

My so-called FABULOUS life: An Offering
http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2011/07/offering.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Give the act to me. Purged of hope and ego. Fix your attention on the soul,. Act and do it for me. From "The War of Art". The following is an excerpt from an email I wrote to my best friend Friday morning while I was on the train headed to a competition. I happened to have a good jump on friday. I think you have a great talent, not only in a long jump. You open up your heart so easily and this is wonderful. So i hope every best thing for you. July 18, 2011 at 5:41 AM. Seems kinda u...

http://mysocalledfabulouslife.blogspot.com/2011/08/end-of-season.html
Saturday, August 6, 2011. For a very long time. Here is a list of my top 10 things I won't miss. 10 Lukewarm drinks. Nothing is cold and ice doesn't exist… so there you go. 9 The worst internet connections. Ever. There were literally times I would wait 15 min for a page to load. European breakfast. Scrambled egg soup, hard bread, and mushrooms? Eww In fact, at one hotel this was ALL that was offered. And yes, you could bounce that roll off a wall. 4 Smoking. Everybody. Everywhere. Beds not made for full-...
