Personal:

My mother forced me to start running as a freshman in high school.. and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually ended up liking it. Graduated from Pine View High School in 2013 and, after a yearlong hiatus, I am now running again, this time for USU, where I'm working on a composite Elementary Ed/Deaf Ed major.

Well. I don't really even know where to begin here. I wasn't really that nervous for this meet.. I don't really know why. I probably should have been, since I only ran twice this whole week and I've been not eating very healthy either (Disneyland churros are wayyy too good to pass up). Also, I've been sick. But. I wasn't that nervous. We got there, and I found out that my races weren't til the end, so I warmed up with Stoner for her 3200. Then we pretty much spent the whole meet cheering for each other.. I swear, there was hardly ever a time when there wasn't one of us senior girls racing. And we all did the long jump (I don't know my measurements, and if I did , I probably wouldn't tell you).

Anyway, finally FINALLY it was time for the 800, after 30 minutes of breaks, super hot sun, cold wind, more hot sun, cloudiness, rain, wind, more hot sun, and wind again. The cutoff time for the faster heat was 3:00.. so I was pretty confident that I could place well. But I was more concerned about my time. I wanted to get low 2:20s, but I didn't make it. I don't know my official time, but Coach said like 2:30. I'm pretty disappointed. I felt like I raced pretty hard. There wasn't really anyone around to push me, but I still felt like I was going faster than 2:30. Anyway.

Then I ran around and little bit, then warmed up for the medley, which was right after. Coach lost his mind and put me in the 200 in the relay.. geez. Our medley team ended up 4th, and Coach said I ran like a 27, but I'm pretty certain that was a lie.

Then I got to do the 4x400! Woot. I actually like this one. Our team is a pretty good one, but we were all pretty tired.. All three of the other girls on my team made finals in their other races so we all had run pretty recently, and Alyssa had been running all day. We ended up 2nd though, cause Janzen's a beast and ran a 1:01.

Ah, the good ol' track days of competing in multiple events. I can't do that anymore. Because I'm old! Anyway, great job!
