A Letter of Thanks for the Morning Help... Friday, August 21

To the people on the 7:20am Bathurst 7 South Bus,

I am sorry for delaying the bus via me running down the street yelling for the driver to wait for me, which he did and for which I am ever so grateful.  I woke up late for training, was scheduled to be there for 7:30am, and though I know it doesn't excuse me from holding up the bus I'd like to think the amusement of it all entertained you all and, at the very least, distracted you from the fact I held you up.  But, if you weren't amused or distracted, I hope perhaps you were entertained or impressed by the fact I ran down the street wearing just my leggings and sports bra.  I had my shoes untied, shirt in hand and was carrying pretty much my weight in boxing gear in my bag.  I got a thumbs up from one of you and a smile from another so hopefully my "skin show" was a nice perk to your morning commute.  

And to the one girl who gave me skink eye for jumping on the bus pretty much half naked, don't hate.  I didn't plan to wake up late nor did I plan to have to boot it down the street with my shirt in hand.  I honestly had one of those moments where you forget to put on your pants but in my case it was my shirt.  Trust me, I was embarrassed at my mistake but I was too focused on not being late for boxing.  So please refrain from holding that stink eye for the whole journey down to the station.  I bust my butt off every single day training hard and eating clean so don't look at me as if I'm some club hootchie or wanna be.  I am a professional athlete; I've earned my body.  If my skin made you uncomfortable or you think I was inappropriate, I am sorrry, but don't hate on me because of your own self insecurities.  We all have insecurities and I am no exception.

And to the bus driver who stopped in the middle of the intersection when he saw me, thank you.  It was my fault for sleeping through my alarm clock but you going out of your way to have my back, much appreciated.  I got to boxing only 10 minutes late and I would have been so much later had it been for your morning dose of awesomeness.

Signed, 

Amy
