I've waited for this moment since the first time I ever set foot on a track, which was way back in 5th grade. I'd dream that the day I broke it and got an amazing time would be the best day of my life. I planed how it would happen in my head a million times. If I was going to accomplish my goal anytime soon during my high school years, this year would be that year in which I got the big 4:30. I've finally reached that breaking point. Where I'll be departing from the pack and drastically change the way I'm viewed as an athletes. It came to me as a shock that I reached a 5:01 minute mile today against Prospect High School. I knew that it was going to be a very competitive race and I had a high chance I might not make top 3 in my running events. But I did I got 3rd in the 1-mile, 4th in the 1/2-mile, and 2nd in the 2-mile. I received a time of 11-minutes and 41-seconds for my 2-mile. A 2:22..ishhh 1/2 mile not my best but not to far from my personal record, and to top it all off my 5 minute 1 second 1-mile. I know that after this meet I'll be running 4 minute miles like nothing because I now know what it takes to run one. Not only that but I have to say I have a greater respect for the athletes I competed against, I really see them as friends because of how similar we are in sports. I really appreciate how they don't mind when they are criticised in give you feed back on how you did in your event. I don't know how to word it but they are just the type of "kids" I need to drive me to a 4:30mile.
-all I need is 30 seconds less!!!
