Today was quite upsetting. I warmed up well, I knew I could get it if I just pushed like I needed. And that first mile was perfect. It was me, Joey, Christian, Brandon Garcania, Ellis, and Chesnut. I was in fourth for most of the mile. 400 in 73, wasn't awful. 800 in 2:28. Mile in 5:03. I got hit with a terrible heat flash then. I just felt awful. Lost the pack, got passed, 10:53. So this is the end of my high school running career. It really wasn't where I wanted it to be, but I came so far from freshman year. To come from 6 minute miles and 25 minute 5k's to running 16's and 4's is incomprehensible. I choke up still and it's been hours thinking about everything and how it's over. I've met so many friends over these four years and I love them so much. Christian, Mason, Rylie, Kyrie, Austin, and Kedric have made my life 100 times better than before I met them. I've been in this blog for a year and through it I've met some of the greatest people I've ever met. Just know, if you're in my favorites list you mean so much to me and I'm so grateful to have met all of you. If I could give any advice to you guys if give it. But I tried all I could and I never could do well when it mattered so I don't know. There's a chance this is my last post on the blog, so to quote Truman show,
Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
Sincerely,
Eugene Nathaniel Grindle III (Nathan)
