Life with the WAGS

Training Camp Take Two

Feeling so nervous I get to Arrowhead and I meet the rookies. I sit and write my blog. The moment the whistle sounds, I spring up. Andy notices me feeling glum and he instructs me to run some laps in full helmet and pads. An excruciating hour later, I drink a lot of Gatorade and I text Travis.
Text Conversation:
Travis, I hate training camp!
You had to run laps in full uniform?
Yeah. I'm in a lot of pain.
Coach knows how much pain we go through. I asked him to put you through the paces.
This was all you?!?!?!?!?!?!
Yup.
I dislike you right now.
Sorry kid.
It's okay.
I'll be at Arrowhead soon.
Why?
Veterans have a meeting.
Okay.
As my conversation with Travis ends, I feel relieved. After Travis gets to Arrowhead, we hug. I sit in the press room and I think about Rob. I'm about to text him when the reporters enter the press room. I put my phone on vibrate and put it in my backpack pocket. I ask the coaching staff questions. After the press conference, I leave Arrowhead and head to the airport. I check in and sit down. As my flight to Tampa gets called, I sit at the window seat. After the flight lands in Tampa, I get on a bus to Raymond James Stadium. I hear a song.
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
Move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
Move mountains
Bring it to its feet
Move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
All we need all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
And we will rise
We will rise
We'll rise
We'll rise
I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousand times again
And we'll rise up
High like the waves
We'll rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
And we'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
