The track meet went well this weekend - I am hoping to get some of the pictures that B-rabbit took and maybe post them along with a track meet report tomorrow!

"Bloggers Block"

I am sorry for my absence all week - I have been suffering from what Felice calls "Bloggers Block". I really haven't been inspired to write anything all week!

I am getting ready to go to my first outdoor track meet this morning.

Events:
Javelin
High Jump
200m
4x400m relay (lead off leg! aka I run first)

I am hoping for lots of sun and very little wind! Hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Easter!

Change of Plans

We were supposed to have our first outdoor meet this past weekend but due to weather and scheduling problems it didn't happen.

Instead Saturday morning we had "practice" which really was a mini meet. The whole team was there and we ran several events for time.

I ran the 300m with Abby and Alison. Since it was raining we had to run it indoors which means that the times were slightly slower than they would have been if we ran outdoors. The last time I ran a 300m time trail was way back in November; I ran it in 50 seconds.

It is a fairly quick race but the 300m hurts! The last 100m I was trying to catch Alison because she was starting to slow down but I was slowing down too!

My time = 46.3 seconds
Alison = 45.9 seconds
(Speed demon Abby = 44.16 seconds)

We then did a 4x200m relay and it went well; my split was about 28.7 seconds.

Saturday night I watched the NCAA basketball tournament games and ended up falling asleep on the couch at 9:30pm. Obviously I am not a party animal! I had a pretty boring weekend! I looked at the weather for this coming Saturday and it looks like rain again so there possibly wont be a meet this weekend either : (

Picture Day!!

I went back into the archives of all my photos and decided to go with a little theme. The past week has been a little stressful for me and it has made me realize how important friends are.

So today I am honoring my best friends!

My apartment/roommate Scottie (who I have now lived with for 3 years)

My basketball teammates Jackie and D

My bff Jason (who I have known since freshman year of college!)

My bff Kaylie (aka Winkly who I went to high school with and ran the HM with!)

and of course B-rabbit who I have known since sophomore year of college!

Its raining here - the track meet got moved to Sunday because it is supposed to be 44 and rainy Saturday. Have a good weekend!!

TIART: Running Shoes

Ohhhh Hello Thursday - so nice to see you again!

Just a quick post here for Take it and Run Thursday from Runners' Lounge!

So I just bought new shoes a while back and I dont even know the name of them. I only buy Asics for running shoes and thats about it. Lets not get me started on shoes. I HAVE TOO MANY SHOES!!

The cycle of my shoes = I buy them, they are all pretty and white. I get one splotch of dirt on them and FREAK out. I continue to run. I reach about 250 miles and then get a new pair!

Today I am sore. Sore legs, sore arms, sore back. I wore my pretty pink spikes yesterday for High Jump and I am thinking I might have to buy another pair of spikes cause those are just not cutting it for jumping.

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS day!!
