Track

  Hello fellow bloggers and happy sunday!  As some of you may or may not know, I am on the track team. I'm not a completely new runner, but I would definitely consider myself a newbie.  All throughout middle school, I ran cross country and absolutely loved it!  I loved everybody on the team and thought it was so fun to go out and run and support each other.  However, as the years went on, I began to dislike it and thought I might like to try something new like cheer.  So, I did and I loved it!  But once my season ended in December, I was not about to just sit around with out a sport to play.  Thats just not me, I like to stay busy and of course healthy.  So I decided I might go back to running.  To my surprise, I have enjoyed it as much or maybe more than cheerleading!  It has been so fun because I have not only gotten extremely fit, but I have also made new friendships and learned a lot about running.

  I started right when the indoor season was beginning and ended up doing really well throughout it (even though it only lasted for 3 weeks) and even ran in the state meet!  But its not really that big a deal because most people did.  Anyway, a few weeks ago we kicked off the outdoor season and had our first meet yesterday at Catholic.  It was sort of gloomy because of the weather being rainy, cool and fairly overcast but we still ran.  Yesterday, I ran the 400 meter dash which is only 1 lap around the track.  It may sound pretty easy but its actually one of the more difficult events to run in!  You have to go full out in a full out sprint throughout the whole lap.  I wish I could have done more events yesterday but since I hadn't been able to come to practice the week prior, It was best I kept it simple.  Track has been such a great experience so far and I can't wait to see what our team does and what kind of runner I become.  Later bloggers!
