I wake up at 5:00am. I like going for runs. I get up and since I'm already in shorts. I'll just put a shirt on. I was about to walk out the door until
"Sage where are you going?" I hear from behind me. I know its Kelly, I woke her up.
"Out for a run" I tell her.
"I'll go with you!" She tells me, I hear her getting up.
"Are you sure?" I ask her. I don't think she realizes how early she woke up.
"Yeah I'm sure!" She tells me. My eyes are starting to adjust better to the dark. So I see her a little better. There's a light shining outside that shines through the hotel room a little. So I see her a little better now. She walks toward me.
"Alright, let's go" I say. We make our way downstairs. We see people at the front desk. We wave at them and make our way out the glass doors.
We're outside and it's still a little dark. We start stretching. Make sure to always stretch before a run, to prevent any injuries or anything in the long run.
"What time is it?" She ask me curiously
"It's like 5" I tell her. She looks at me with wide eyes.
"Seriously? No wonder it's still dark out" she tells me.
"You ready?" I ask her. I'm done stretching.
"Yeah let's go" we start jogging.
"Try to keep up!" I tell her jokingly.
After our morning run. We head back to the hotel. We walk into our hotel rooms and start to change. We chill in our room for a while until its time for breakfast. We walk down to our breakfast room. We're the first ones. So we walk up and serve ourselves. Dawn came in and she made sure to check over our plates.
"Hey we're doing the tests on you tomorrow" she informs me. I nod and sit next to Kelly. We start eating, and a few more of our teammates walk in. I see Pinoe and Kling goofing off. I'm get them later today. After a while, Alex comes in with Carli and Allie. They get their plates, and walk over to my table. Kelly was done and got up to sit with the youngsters. Carli sat next to me, and Alex sat on my left.
"You are going to love what we're going to be doing today. I know you love competing. Let me tell you, this team is very competitive. Although I know you won't go down without a fight Sagey" Carli tells me before taking her fork and start eating her salad.
"I have a lot of confidence and I know for sure I'll beat most of this team today" I tell her jokingly but at the same time being serious about it.
"I forgot how cocky you were" Carli said laughing and picks up her water to take a sip.
"Maybe it's not cockiness, I just know I'm a very good player" I tell her, taking a sip from my water. I'm finished with my breakfast. I look to Alex, she's finishing hers up. She's talking with Allie. I put my head on her shoulder. I'm still a little tired. I was about to close my eyes but something Carli said made me look at her.
"Wait what did you say?" I ask her curiously.
"I said I'm just very happy to have you here, we've been training and training for you to finally get here" she tells me. She moves over to get out of her seat and to put her dish away. I give her a smile and a small nod. I didn't know what to say to that other then just be extremely grateful for her. Eventually we all finish and head back to our rooms to grab our gear and head out to the bus. I sit with Tobin on the bus, because I needed to talk with her. I want know if we're okay. She looks taken back from my sudden action. I don't think she wanted to sit with me.
"Hey I wanted to talk to you about-" I was cut off by her
"Christen and Alex already told me. We're good right?" She asks me.
"Dude I sat here to ask you if we're good! Yeah dude we're good!" I tell her excitedly.
"I have a lot to talk to you about my friend, it sucked not talking to you Toby" I grab her and hug her. "I missed you!" I tell her.
"Its only been like 10 hours?" She tells me giggling.
"Don't ruin the moment" I tell her. I kiss her cheek. It's one of those cheek kisses friends give one another. She gives me a warm smile. We talked about random things, and then we started saying corny jokes to one another, and then it escalated to it being with the whole team. Everyone was competing on who could come up with the best corny joke. We finally arrive at the stadium. We walk out with our bags and head inside. It's an open practice, so there's people here to watch us. We walk into the locker rooms. We set our stuff done. We change and we all head to the pitch. We get separated in groups. We start stretching. Once we're done. The beep test.
