Track has been in full swing lately! It is amazingly fun! Last week we had a home meet and I took 1st place in the 800 meter run. It was an amazing feeling of accomplishment! This week I ran in the 4X800, open 800 and the 1600 (or mile). I/we got 2nd place in all the races. I ran the last leg of the 4X800 in 3:02, my best time was 3:01 and I had been told to take it easy, because we were losing and I didn't have a chance of catching the girl. Then in the mile I got 2nd place. I tailed a Stapley girl the whole race until the last 300 meters when I overtook her. It was really cool. I got a 6:29...a new personal best, down from my last fastest of 6:37. I was really happy. Then for the 800, I finished in 2nd place 1 second behind the girl from Stapley, and got a 2:59 I think? But it was a personal record and I was happy! It was a long meet and I was tired! But it has been very fun and rewarding! We have amazing people on our team, and I love my coach for distance. I am excited to hopefully finish in the top 8 at City in a few weeks! I will keep everyone posted!
p.s. I took my camera to the meet today to take pictures,(it is a miracle it got into my bag..but that is a different story) and I got into the locker room during 6th hour, and the batteries were dead, so I put in my spare batteries..and they were dead too. Just my luck! I will try to be more prepared for next meet!
