TRACK HAS BEGUN!!

So track started at the beginning of March, and it's been really boring. I mean really boring. Due to the fact that we have all this snow and it just keeps coming, we've been inside for the entire season. Not even kidding, we've only had a couple of outdoor practices and that's only been when we have those few nice days.

Okay, I'm going to go off on a tangent right now and discuss the weather because it is pissing me off. First off all the weather is so crazy. One day school is cancelled because of a snow storm, the next day it's raining like crazy and the next day everyone is in shorts. That's what the weather has been like for the past couple of weeks, not necessarily in that order. It is so annoying. It even snowed a couple of inches last night!! Ugh.

Anyways, back to track. Not only has the weather been terrible, and not only have we been stuck inside, but the workouts have been really easy. I'm not just saying that because the ski season really got me into shape, but they're actually really easy. Two years ago we were doing really hard practices right off the bat, one year ago we were doing hard workouts but not as hard. This year, nothing. I just want to curl up into a ball and cry because of how easy it is. I love hard, sweat like crazy, muscle fatigue, you're going to sleep hard tonight workouts.

I'm pretty sure KJ (coach) is getting sick of hearing me complain about it being too easy and that's why he's letting me do some harder workouts. Like today I'm going to do 4 800s with 6 hurdles spaced throughout the the track. This way I can work on distance while also forcing my body to get used to having to go over obstacles. It'll hopefully help me be a better 300 hurdler.

Also best news ever!! We had one outdoors meet this year, it was last Thursday down in the cities. I did high jump, 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles and lastly the 2 mile. Now I'm sprinter in the spring and have only done one distance run this year (a two hour run out to blackberry), so the two mile was...interesting. The only reason I did it is because there are only 4 (now 3) events that I haven't done yet in track and the two mile was one of them.

Well I failed at high jump. I really suck at it and don't know why KJ keeps putting me in it when all I do is eat bar. Next was 100 hurdles which was really fun. The timing was spazzing out, so they had to restart the computers and we wound up having to wait around for a long time. Us hurdlers became best friends during that time and it turns out that all of us are going into the medical field (except one girl who will be a lawyer) and so we're all going to start our own clinic and call it Hurdlers. I came in second in my heat and third overall. Then in 300 hurdles I came in FIRST! I've never won a varsity even before in my life, and I was so excited!! Lastly the 2 mile. I umm....well I came in second! Hahaha

Over all the track meet was a lot of fun and we didn't get home until after 2am. 

Okay, well I've got to go practice, so see ya!!

Thank you for reading :)

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...

Dear Asthma,

I would prefer to tell you this face-to-face, but seeing as you have no face and live within my own body, I see no chance of that happening anytime soon. Therefore it is with an ache in my chest that I write this to you. I am sorry, but we are different places in life. I will always remember the times we had together. I mean, who could forget the times you've had me doubled over, coughing as my lungs attempt to dispel you from my body causing you to become caught and tangled within my throat so I can no longer take in a breath. There's also the times where you, in anger with my lungs for trying to get rid of you, wrap your arms around my chest and squeeze with all your might. Just as you've done today. I would love to keep you here with me, but we really are in separate places in this life. I know, it sounds cliche and yet it rings true. You've changed since we first met. You now want to take the easy way in life. To sit back and watch all the good times ...
