"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running." -Unknown
Whether I feel like pushing myself or not this day, I will get up running. I love running & I am so excited to join my schools track team! Track starts the 9th of February & I am SUPER excited. In PE we have been practicing some of the events. Monday we did the 100 Meter & I got 3rd overall the girls in my class. Now, I know what your thinking....Abby, its just PE. Well most of the girls running in my class are the fastest at our school. Most of them ran cross country with me & almost ALL of them will be on track with me! I am so excited. On Wednesday we ran the 400 & I got first in that. That's the event I was planning on running for track. My time for that was a minute & 17 seconds (1:17). I need to have it under 1:10 to be good enough for this year. I had one of the fastest times out of everyone throughout the day. Today we ran the 800 M. That's two laps! That's alot of sprint. I ended up running it in 3 minutes and 12 seconds (3:12). I got first. Haha! I was definitely a happy girl this week!
All the girls said that running is the worst thing ever & I just laughed because I think the exact opposite. I love running more than any sport I've ever done. I love pounding my feet against the hard pavement & getting that HUGE adrenaline rush before I hear the gun go off. I love it so so much & it is definitely the sport I consider MINE! I will work as hard as I can at track this year. I am looking forward to cross country & track more than ANYTHING next year! I am so excited to become Toro Tough.
