30 days Left. What happened in 8th grade that Set the goal?

Today's Run: Do to a number of unexpected events, I'm left to running in place and a number intense workouts , pathetic I know.

I'm sure that the site of this could win the grand prize on FHV, but no such luck. I am not recording myself trying to get as big of a workout as possible in 1.5 hours. nope. No I'm not.

8th Grade and the Girl who set the standard

By 8th grade, I was completely obsessed with running. I trained all summer of course. I practiced how fast I could take off. I ran super long distances, like 2 miles or so, and timed myself a lot.

By the start of Track and Field season, I was pumped and ready to go. I started to get a big head, because I came in first at every race. Any high schooler, even a freshman, would have said I was slow. So basically, I had a false sense of fast.

My last race of the season was one of my favorite races. It was a typical wet spring day for Wisconsin.

The Track Meet was held at Greendale High school.

I had begun to realize that I wasn't as fast as I thought.

Nerves.
Butterflies.
Guilt for feeling nerves and butterflies about an 8th grade track meet.

Ready...
Set....

BANG!

So, I've been checking in our your blog to see you working at obtaining your goal and last night I had a dream that I was running in a marathon. Yea, fat chance. I hate running and the only reason I do it when I'm at the gym is because it burns calories fast and I can plug in my earphones and watch Grey's Anatomy. Anyway, keep up the great work!
