At The End

Currently Reading:  Teen, Inc. by Stefan Petrucha.  8/10 for being a funny and pretty deep story disguised (or written) in the form of YA fic.
                  Obsession, Deceit, and Really Dark Chocolate by Kyra Davis.  8/10 for being funny and a satisfying read, but only as deep as the shallow end of a pool.  Warning:  this is an adult book.  Enough said.

Estoy:  Okay¹.

     Today—or yesterday, technically, but today works just as well—was the official end of my track season.  It's sort of weird for track to be over now when it's been going for what, 7 weeks?  Yep, for 7 weeks I have not come straight home after school.  Instead, I've had practice for 1, 2, even 3 hours!  The only days I didn't have practice were meet days, and there weren't many of those.  Seriously, even on our early release days we had to go back to school for practice.  It's been quite a season.
    I was in long, high, and triple jump this year.  While I didn't do my best at yesterday's meet, which I was kind of disappointed about, I haven't had a half bad season.  My highest jump was 4'2"², my longest jump was 12'5", and my best triple jump was 24'6".  I know these numbers may not seem all that great, but keep in mind that I'm just a freshman.  I'm hoping to do better next year, of course.  I've decided, though, to stay in shape this year and I started my new tradition of after-school runs (I'm planning to go in the morning on weekends and once school gets out).  I didn't run all that far, really, but I ran enough to make me breathe harder and also to make my shins hurt like hell.  I don't actually think I could have gone much farther because my shins were that bad.
    I was actually lucky that I was able to go running today, considering the weather this morning.  I woke up and, no joke, it was snowing.  Our weather has been doing that a lot lately—it'll be nice for a few days and then it'll snow for a few.  It's really annoying.  It is not meant to snow in May!  I mean, I don't expect the weather here to be like it would in Hawaii, but I'd be fine if it was just a bit warmer and the snow was only rain.  Thanks to the snow, we had maybe 5 track meets canceled.  It sure made our season seem a bit shorter, and I wish we'd gotten to have more meets.  But so it goes.  Anyhow, I'd best be off now to enjoy my free time.  Until next time…

¹  That's all there is to it.
²  Which I actually did better than last year, but I hurt my back right at the
beginning of the season, and it's still getting better because I didn't want to take time off. =]
