my week was actually pretty ok. which i'm glad for. before i know it, it'll be spring break, and then my mom'll be back. yessssssssssss. haha. well, i'm gonna post on my meet, but in a different way, since i'm lazy. i'll just post the email that i sent to my mom about the meet:
just got back from my meet today. it was pretty crazy. and hard. my legs are like, dead tired. but that's ok, because i'm pretty proud of myself for once. the meet was in rio vista (but i have no idea where it is..). and it was on a dirt track, but that was ok, because i had spikes. so anyway, my first race was a mile and it was pretty hard.there were 5 vanden guys and one rio vista. for most of the race, i was in last place (but i figured as much, seeing as how i'm a freshman runnin varsity), but then the guy ahead of me (rio vista) wasn't that far...so on the last lap, i kicked it up like i always do. and we were tied for about 150-250 meters. then when we were coming around the last curve, i kicked it up a lot, probly to about 100%. and ended up beating him. my time was 5:25! that's my fastest i've ever run a mile, too. i'm pretty proud of that. my second race (two mile) was one of the last ones. it was VERY hard. there were 3 vanden runners and two rio vistas. i stayed in the very middle the entire time. but my time was pretty good, although i wish i could keep a faster pace than that. it was 12:08. i know it's something most people would be proud of...but it just gives me reason to work that much harder.so there you have it. i wish people could actually come to some of my meets this year...but i know it probly won't happen seeing as how they're all away. that sucks. but it would be nice to have a cheering section for once....
anyway, hope everyone else is having a good week. come to the freshman spirit show on tuesday during lunch just because we worked so hard on it. haha. no but seriously, come. it's gonna be pretty funny actually. well, besides, that, there's really nothing. so i guess i'll talk to yall later.
