I love track and field!

Today, we had another track meet - even though it is Thursday, not Friday. We got to leave school at 12:35 (another great benefit of doing track). We went to Hood Canal which had a weird track. I swear the long jump pit was possessed! It made me angry! I only jumped 11' 4", when I was earnestly trying to jump 13'. And my brother - who jumped 16' 1" last track meet - only jumped 14' 1"! Something was wrong today. Oh well. Anyway, I got first place in 50 meter dash. It really sucked that I got a slower time. But the next part made up for it. You know how the first lane (in relay) has to start what seems farther than the other lanes, right? Well, our school was in the second lane. I had three people in "front" of me. When we started I passed all of those three! Usually somebody cuts in front of me, but I actually ran today. And it paid off. Well enough about me, what about you? What did you do today? I have to go finish memorizing a poem by A. E. Housman called "To An Athlete Dying Young". Okay. TTFN
