Track times is fun times.

Kirsten, Sam, Dad, and Erin came to watch me run!

Nice bum shot. But this was a fun take-off.

We won our Medley Relay that day.

Passing off to Janice.

Track is way fun. I made a lot of friends I wouldn't have otherwise! Plus I got a nice sunburn today. With some more freckles, which were much appreciated.

TRACK
I was way nervous to time for the 100 meter sprints. I went to the back of the line so no one would see me biff it. We bolted off the starters, and my start wasn't very fast, so I picked it up a lot in the middle. I get in this trance where I refuse to let anyone pass me. I always seem to find a little extra in myself that will push to get past someone. Who knew I had a competative streak?!
EVENTS
My time was 13.4! Which I found it is pretty good! Of the girls that tried out that day, I was first! They put a girl in front of me on the last because they are past runners and super fast, which is great cause I love her! Plus that put me on the 4 by 1 Team and the Medley Team! I really need to learn how to pass a baton, though. Oh, and I am learning to use my long legs to do the long jump!
CANCELLED
I was WAY excited and pretty nervouse for our very first meet today. I packed lots of snacks, a blanket, umbrella, and my ipod for entertainment. I was prepared. But it got cancelled due to potential storms that never really happened.... but that just means more practice!

In any case, I am way excited. But my fav track buddy might not be able to do it.... I will miss her much..... *tear*.

RANDOMNESS: (only read if you want....its optional. but then again, reading this blog in general is just an option.)

+Our YW made the Terra Cotta Soldiers out of cake pop bunnies. Sweet, huh?
+I LOVE LOVE LOVE having my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew live in my house. Kirst helped me study for like... an hour! How amazing is she?
+I love looking out windows.
+I promise that I will go to Zumba with Erin. I promise.
+I talked to an old best friend for the first time in a while today. It was a fun time. I liked it.
+I think I am a bit paranoid. There is this girl that I walk by a few times, and she seems to look at me and laugh every time I pass her. I think I am just being weird.
+We had a big discussion about Hiroshima and how our country still makes even more powerful atomic weapons, with the same intentions they had when they preserved Hiroshima and Nagasaki for those bombs. And I am proud of myself, because hey, I am gaining my own opinions!
+I like driving....

Punch the race in the face!

I want to be like her:

My favorite thing about this picture is her face. This was at the end of the 5K, and everyone looks like they are in terrible pain. But look at that smile!

I decided to do Track at my school this spring. I have been a pretty decently fast runner, but I don't have good endurance. At all. I improve, of course, but I haven't been running for a while. So over spring break I have been exercising. Either walk 2 miles or run 1 mile, then 100 crunches and some good stretches. Often lifting weights. I think I just wanna feel cool, because exercising on my own makes me feel independent.

I am so excited for Track though. I can't wait to get my uniform!! Laugh. I think it will be fun to run everyday after school with my friends. It is gonna be really hard for me though. But my new motto is

I CAN DO ANYTHING.

And I can. If I put my mind to it. Luckily I will have friends there to help me push along.

I just need to remember that I can do hard things.
