Track has officially started!However it feels like track started 2 weeks ago when we were in pre-season conditioning.
All distance runners were required to run the 1600m (or the mile) and it was pretty cold so that's about all anyone signed up for because it was the first event after the hurdles.
I set a goal to beat this one guy who always seems to be just faster than me.
When the race started I felt sick, then I realized why. I had a spicy chicken sandwich for lunch! For the first lap I felt like vomiting fire and lava. Then I realized I had a choice: keep going, or quit.
I chose the first of the two, and went strong on the next three laps. I finished in 5:47. My record? 5:45. So all in all I'm really not that great. But I love doing it and that's all that matters. Right?
