Hello everyone!!
I just thought I'd post a quick update. Last Thursday, I think the 8th, I tried out for track!!
Remember the time needed to get in?? 5:30 right? Well I got 5:30 flat!!! Woot woot!! Afterwords coach Dollar told us who was definately on the team for each grade level and Josh Reese and I were the only freshman who made the cut-off!!
(Josh is the fastest freshman we have, also I think he's the 8th fastest in the state for x-country)
That was pretty awesome!! :D
But... That shin I mentioned earlier is actually getting worse. For a while I tried to deny it, tried to keep on keeping on, but I can't dent it any longer. Both my medial shins are hurting now, and despite this fact I still raced Josh in the 400. He was doing a injured run today just as I was and I beat him on the track. Because I assumed he was faster I ran in the innermost lane and kept equal to his speed. We were racing to see who could get back to Chris first and after going one hundred he started to sprint, moving his legs really fast, and knowing I couldn't last much longer, I lengthened my stride predicting he would be tired before me. And lo and behold he said he couldn't go that fast and he, I think, stopped. However too much was at stake. I had to keep going till I reached Chris and right after he stopped man was I feeling the downsides of speed. I was seriously slowing down and actually thought I could hear him behind me.(Although I think he was not)
So I reached Chris. I beat him.
In all fareness to him he was injured. Perhaps more than myself. Perhaps not. Either way, what this means is that he has some competition and I have some competition. But it's all good because were freinds. It's good when your freinds push you to do better. This post is to commemorate the making and breaking of my PR for track!! (PersonalRecord)
As always
Keep it real,
~James

2010 :D

Hello fellow surfers!! Been surfing any good any good webs lately? I'm not sure what to talk about so I'll make something up. Wait.. No I just thought of something... I recently began to read some books I had started to read a while back and they are awesome!! One is known as "The road less traveled 25th anniversery edition," and is an amazing book!! It is about a lot of extraordinarily helpful subjects ranging from discipline to love to religon to grace. I'm still in the beginning, discipline, and it is very interesting!!

----

I read a short story recently called "Who moved my cheese?!?," and it was a humorous interesting read. It presented many interesting thoughts on the process of change. One I would like to share with you is,
What would you do is you weren't afraid?
It has another, kind of complementary, thought that goes with that one but I guess you'd have to read the book to find out!! :D Muhaha!!!
-----
I run cross country and boy is it fun!! It's tough work, pain, sweat, and shin splinty but it's fun and worth it. It keeps you thin, fast, and rewards you with euphoric endorphins. I guess I will try out for track and feild soon. However, I need to run a 5:30 mile and my record stands 5:45ish. 5:41, around there. I beleive I can do it but my right leg has some kinda shin splint and I may need to push it to acheive such a goal...
I will do great!! I WILL be awesome and I WILL get under 5:30!! Even if only by a second!!
:D
Possitive thinking will actually improve performance. :D
