So.. My first blog entry. I don't know where to start. I guess I will just jump right into it.
Right off I'd like to say my hamstring is fine, I don't even feel it when I run! :) Other than that, we had our second regular season meet today and coming in I was pretty nervous. In the first regular season meet I didn't run what I wanted at all. I ran a like 6.85 fifty five a 53.05 four hundred and a 24.04 two hundred or something, each of which through me off. It was a bad meet and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't running up to par. My problem is that I expect to be on the top of my game every meet. I mean I don't like to factor in that I ended last spring with a torn hamstring then took the whole fall season off. I was rattled and a little upset. Today's meet, I think, went a lot better. I got my 200m down to 23.58. This time last I tied Isaiah Spofford with a 23.69. I also think I was beat in the 55m by someone from Mt.View which definitely got in my head a bit. But even with today's results, I have work to do! I have to work on my starts a LOT more. They literally kill my race. I am also starting to lift two times a week and I have to cut down on how much I play World of Warcraft! I'm still excited for this season. I don't usually see the results I want until after the Dartmouth Relays meet which is next week! I'm so glad I get to leave school early! Well, that's what's on my mind right now! I just gotta kick it into gear so I can put out some impressive times! If anyone ever has any questions for me don't hesitate on asking me on facebook or something. And remember, 100% everything. See you soon!
