First Blog Post

Hey how it's going. So I have finally decided to create a blog. I guess it would make sense to because it would be easier for me to add photos/videos, I was told it is easier to organize all my notes...(I think), and I like typing more than writing. So I hope all goes well!

I would like to apologize for my inconsistent journaling this week. Since last week Thursday, I've been either busy or just too tired to do anything so I've been taking this week to re-regulate myself and get back to my journaling and researching. From school, to practice, to working on my project, I must say, it is a tiresome
process.
I would also like to say that I have been doubting my goal of breaking 50 seconds and regretting a bit,  making this my project due to the workouts during track practice feeling so hard and the tremendous amount of work required for the WISE project. I will admit, I hate WISE with a passion. I wish I've never chosen it and knew what I was getting into beforehand; I know for sure there are others that feel the same way. That being said, I am going to have to force myself from time to time to keep going until the very end because there have been times when I just feel like giving up or that I'm diving into a pool of work. It is just a lot to juggle. I wake up to go to school (which I am grateful for not having a lot of work to do), then to go to practice for 2 hours, to come home and have to work on WISE things. After practice I feel so tired, I just want to eat, sit back and relax, which I could do, but my WISE work will not complete itself (I wish it could).

With all that being said, I would like to say, I have been re-motivated to keep going and to not give up due to the fact that I ran a timed 400 today out in the frigid cold and wind and did very well. I ran it in 55 seconds. For those of you who don't know how good or bad that is, that is pretty good. 1) I ran by myself. (Meaning I had no competition to push myself). 2) It was cold and slightly windy. 3) Due to the fact that it was cold, my muscles weren't worked us as much as they could be. 4) It was my first 400 of the year on the outdoor track. This was a sign that I am indeed putting in hard work and that hard work is paying off indubitably.

  1. Excellent!!! It is great to hear that you are motivating yourself to do this!!! You can do it!!! You have great ideas about what you want to do and so you can do it. You also want to run in college - so this is a way to start that. Remember that you have a goal - but more important than your goal (break 50sec for the 400) is that you take the steps towards doing it. The journey is more important - you will learn how to motivate yourself, how to train better, and certainly get faster even if you don't break 50 sec.

  2. Thanks! Yeah I pretty much know what I want, it's just the learning what I can do to keep myself going and running at my best! Even if I don't break the record by the end of my wise project, I have a feeling I just might by the end of season. Hard work surely pays off and I will continue pressing forward - that's just who I am.
