Don't be scared! Be nervous! JK! My first week of practice was terrible, after each practice I felt really sick. Though after about 2-3 weeks I was in the best shape of my life! It was worth it, I made more friends, and got even better at running. :)

I'm now kinda nervous for the state meet on saterday. Cause on practice a few days ago, I was pole vaulting and I scared the crap out of myself. First, on one of my jumps I didn't push the pole enough, so when I jumped, I was perfectly balanced at the top of my pole and I slowly slid down. The other time, again not pushing my pole enough, I landed really close to the bar and the slid down and almost fell in the box(where you plant the pole). So that's making me a bit nervous for states. :?

You'll do fine, just practice a bit more, and when you do think of sliding down the pole or something, replace that thought with something like "Failing isn't an option". I was extremely nervous for my first XC meet, in fact, I was so nervous that at the practice the day before the meet, I was hyperventilating. It was soooo scary, because I could barely breath, and to top that off I nearly passed out. Though my coach still made me run the rest of the course. Then when I got back to the picnic tables {at the park when your practice was held}, everybody body came over to me and was so concerned because I was the last person to finish {since I ran the end with my coach}, and they were asking me what happened and stuff, so I just shrugged and kept walking.
Just remember, always try your best! :)

It's the middle of summer XC training and I just got back from vacation. I was on a cruise, and that left little time or space to run, so I'm really out of shape .__. Plus, I'm kind of sick.

I'm gonna be that weird person that posts at 1:00 in the morning XD

Anyways, I do 300m hurdles and discus. I'm so excited because I ordered a pair of discus to practice with outside of school, and they just came in! I can't wait until track season begins, because I really want to beat my schools record on discus. Does anyone else throw? I've never met another chickensmoothian that does discus ^-^



Maybe we're like bottles
Drained or brimming full
Cracked or stained with alcohol
Dumped into a pool

Maybe we're like bottles
Hollow at our core
But filled with dreams and memories
Always spilling more

People seek to fill themselves
By means of blood and gore
They search within the see through depths
Steal what's at your core

And maybe that's why you don't see glass bottles anymore

I also throw discus and shotput. Discus is like a frisbee, and shotput is throwing a 9 pound ball of metal as far as you can. At my school, we aren't allowed to throw javelin due to a unfortunate event, but I hope to throw javelin and hammer when I'm older.
