TRACK

Look- I'm running, in hidious aberhart orange i might add. Have I metioned before that I love track??? Yeah we had a meet on friday, It was pretty much awesome. My frist race was at 8:40, 800m, and i beat my pb and got 5th. I was happy, cause I HATE HATE HATE that race. I'm a distance runner, and 800 is just an extended sprint. I spent the rest of the day raking sand in the longjump pit. That was a stupid move on my part, cause I think I had heatstroke by the time my 3:40 race came around. It was the 1, 500 m race, and I ran the worst race of my life. The problem was, the first place girl started the race off really slow, and I thought if i could just keep up with her i'd be doing really well because she's way faster than me anyway. So we all ran the lap in 1:40, which is TERRIBLE and had to speed up afterwards. So after slacking off on the first lap, I got back on pace, and was in an easy fourth most of the race, with the fifth place girl half a lap behind me. So as I got to the finish line my coach started screaming that she was right on my tail. I laughed at him cause there's no way someone can make up a half lap in a minute. Actually i'm an idiot and she beat me by a millisecond. Somehow with all my screw-ups I still came in fifth, and I was only behind my pb by a few milliseconds. So in the end, I made cities in both my events. YAY!

Quick note at the end of this... It feels wrong posting a happy entry with everything thats been happening lately. I DO feel terrible... I just have a problem with talking about these issues on my blog. It feels wrong talking about stuff like that on my blog, because it is a public thing, and posting my own oppinions on someone else's life seems wrong. Its not that I don't care- its just not something I feel I understand well enough to make a comment on. Much love to EVERYONE involved, and you know who you are. If there's anything I can do for ANYONE, let me know ok? I'm here and I feel for you.
