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 :)

I GOT A JOB

So in my last post I talked about how I was thinking about doing a home baking thing. I went to the Armory to give Sergeant Nelson a cupcake. Side note: A couple weeks ago I had made cupcakes and brought some over for the guys but he hadn't been there that day and therefor didn't get any, which is why I brought one today since I had baked this weekend. Side-side note: They were maple pancake cupcakes with maple butter cream frosting. All homemade. He was in a meeting so I was waiting in the, I don't know, building entrance area(?) I met this woman who was waiting for a her meeting. Side note: Turns out that due to weather her meeting had been canceled and she just hadn't been told. We started talking and she told me that she was here to talk about a party for the US that she was planning for Sunday the weekend before the fourth. So we got to talking about and she was telling me about what food she was thinking of and, I kid you not, a lig...

How Rude!

Mother Nature must be in a terrible mood. Just today we've gotten 5-8 inches with more to come tonight. Wait a second *runs to window* fat flakes are still falling from the sky! Maybe I'll just keep this short and go skiing instead... Nothing special really happened today, but there was something that I wanted to share. I just can't remember what it was...I'll remember later! Well I found out that I won't be able to go tomorrow. It;s a real bummer cause I was really looking forwards to it. I mean really looking forward to it. I was so excited I couldn't sit in class! The fact that it's now an impossibility brings a sadness to my life. It'll pass by Saturday and it's not a true sadness. It's more of the fact that I can feel this great chance at something I might never get to do again, at meeting my idol, passing me by.  Oh well. Life's full of opportunity. Maybe one day this chance will come again and I'll be able to take full advantage ...

Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going,...
