Ok this is the week it all comes down to. I have had my time trial for the 4x800 and now its the other girls turn for it. she will be running the 800 in the meet on this friday, and i will be running the 4x800. She is a senior so in a way i hope she gets it but i feel like i have worked to hard to get to where i am to just let her have it because shes a senior. She is one of my good friends, but i just want this so bad. Her last 800 time was 2 seconds slower than my personal record time so i'm hoping she wont be any faster this friday after only one week of practice. My anxiety is unbelievable, im just hoping for the best. Who ever knew this could be so competitive.

So this week at practice i'm kind of freaking out. I have been working SO hard to get to where i am right now and i want that spot on the 4x800 team more than anybody else. I have been working so hard, and every week i have improved my time by at least 2 seconds. i really hope he gives me a shot at the relay team because i feel like i have earned it. According to alot of my teammates i work harder than anybody else. That doesn't mean i'm faster, because alot of the girls are faster than me, but i've just been working so hard to get to where i am right now. Words cannot describe how badly i want this.

This week in Track has been pretty intense. Right now it is a race between me and 4 other girls for a spot on the 4x800 team for regionals. On Monday me and madison and Jamie ran aginst each other in the 800 meter to see who has the best time. I automatically knew madison would be faster than me, but i knew i could beat jamie. Coach told me he wanted me to run a 2:44 wich is by far the fastest i've ran this season, and it just so happens that i ran a 2:44. I was right behind madison, but it was close. I was pretty far in front of jamie though. So now coach is pretty happy with me and so now its a race between me and one other person for the spot on the 4x800 team.

This week at practice we had an EXTREMELY hard workout. This workout was the hardest we have done. We are about 3 weeks away from regionals so he is making us have shorter mileage but more intense workouts. we have to start getting more speed so we can have better times. In regionals we have to make it into either first or second place to be guaranteed to make it to state. If you dont make it to first or second, you have to have one of the top ten times in the state, which is a very slim chance for me, so i would have to make it to first or second place at regionals!

This week in Track has been absolutely amazing. I have been steadly improving everyweek. Everytime coach sets a goal for me, i strive to make it so he will be proud of me. This week a ran a 2:46. I am getting better and better. I am up with sydney and the middle schoolers in track which definitely means i'm getting alot better. We are now getteing really close to regionals which will determine how many of us are going to state. We really want to get our 4x800 team into state because we are really good.

This week in track we had alot of fun, we are just taking it kind of easy. We had an Active rest day where we ran for 5 minutes and then walked for 5 minutes. We did this on the greenbelt and while we were halfway done coach randomly said lets have an arm wrestling tournament. Well we had some soccer girls running with us and some cheerleaders who all have really strong arms so i was pretty sure i wouldnt stay in for too long but it turned out that i was the strongest out of them all, i took them all down and i almost beat coach but i practically pulled a muscle in my arm so i had to let go. everyone was pretty impressed it was hillarious though because now everyone is scared of me haha. I love track so much.

This week has been a pretty normal, nothing too exciting, i have improved on my 800 by about 3 seconds, i am now running a 2:49 which is what my coach wanted me to run. So right now im pretty happy with myself, but i still want to et down into the lower 40's, i have alot of work ahead of me! Coach is planning more workouts so we can can pick up our speed during the races. hopefully by next week i can run a 2:46, thats coaches new goal for me.

Well since cross country is no more, it is now time for spring track. Our practices are now more intense but more helpful in our events. My event that im best at is the 800, now i'm definitely not the fastest that would be claire and taylor who run theirs in like 2 minutes and 30 seconds as thier fastest time. My first 800 that i ever ran was a 2:52, which was ok for my first time but coach said i needed to work on it some more. So most of our workouts consists of lots of sprints. We have had 2 workouts this week and they were really tough.
