Day in the life of a freshman star track runner.


So yesterday I got up at 7 to finish my article for journalism. Yes I also write stuff for my school paper. At about 7:35 I started getting ready for the day. I had a banana, got dressed, and brushed my teeth. My mom drove me to school which is about 3 minutes away and I could walk but I’m lazy most days. I have a quick conversation with my friends then head to my first class at 8:15. It’s strength but cause I have a meet today and our head track coach is my teacher he let me go really light. 5s each side incline. 15s on dumbbell push press and curls. 35 on Tri machine. Then at about 9 we go combine with the other gym classes and I play pickleball cause I’m boring af. Hoops weren’t an option btw. Next ath about 9:50 I have my journalism thing where I really just finished my article and scrolled for 30 minutes. At 11:25 I go to bio honors and we do a virtual lab and that’s it basically. We at 1 have lunch and I eat turkey, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, Gatorade, and cosmic brownie. At 1:50 I have Spanish. Espanol es muy dificil. Hice practica exama. At 3:20 I head down to our athletic locker rooms and I put my shorts on and went to the bathroom. Right as we are about to take attendance I realized I left my water bottle in the locker room and run down to go get it and come back just in time as we’re leaving the school. Get on the bus and go lock in mode and put hy headphones on. 20 min bus ride and we get there and I kinda just chill for about 30 minutes. Then I start warming up with my teammate who’s a senior and then we stretch and eventually we do stride outs. I get my numbers to put on my chest and shoulder and spike up. I do like 2 extra strides to get used to the spikes and then head to the starting area. They line us up then we go to the start lines. I’m in lane 4 of 6 so I can’t cut in till near the end of the first lap. They combined us with varsity for this meet but are on a score us separate. I get to the start. On your marks. POW!!! I’m going and I start off the race pretty slow the first 200 and I kind of just let people go out fast and then I start speeding up and passing people. At the mile I was at at 5:43 mile. Btw forgot to mention this is a Jv confrence indoor 3200. Our varsity guy from our school was in first and lapped me at about the mile and our other varsity guy was in 5th but they finished 1st and 3rd. Our other jv runner got 8th in the jv. The last 800 meters my ankle problems I’ve been having since Tuesday but put off cause I have a 3 week break from meets after this one. I slowed down a good amount from the first 2400 but didn’t give up. Once I got to my last lap I realized I could still pr if my kick was fast so I gave it my all and got a 3 second pr with a 11:54.98. After I talked with teammates and coaches and parents then went to the trainer to get ice and iced for about 25 minutes twice. Our boys var and jv and girls var and jv won confrence. Our boys teams normally win but this was the first time all 4 won in school history. The girls jv it came down to the last leg of a 4x400 where our 4th leg galling down another girl. We celebrated for a lil then got on the bus and got back around 11. We went to Culver’s with a few teammates and celebrated. Got to bed around midnight. Also now have the 786th fastest high school 3200 meter in the state of Illinois and have a top 10 3200 meter freshman time in school history.
