Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Track 2014

So. Since track has been done for about two months I should probably write my post about it πŸ˜‰

I realized this year that I’m not a huge fan of track. I like running, but not this kind of running. I like long, slow, leisurely runs… not all out sprints around a circle. You feel me?

I had some good times this year. I ran in the 3200 relay, 1600, and 3200. I occasionally did the 800 too.

PR’s:

3200 relay: 10:36
1600: 5:39
800: 2:36
3200: 11:56

Just like basketball and cross country, here are some (more like 500;) pictures from the season!

    I really really really appreciate all your different facial expressions and hand gestures. You’re like my soul mate or spirit animal or maybe you’re both. Anyways, keep on keeping on. I always look pained running. My coach once told me that I looked ‘like a malnourished pained child’ in cross country pictures. Righttt. Maybe you should hand out some tips on how to look somewhat decent running because you’re so cute running! And girl. Your PR’s are fast! So basically, you look cute running and you run fast. Life is so unfair. πŸ™‚

    Hey! Great photos! You look like a champion πŸ˜‰ You make running look so elegant and effortless! And I agree with the above…you are such a natural (especially with the expressions!) And yep, I feel ya! I hate anything that goes in circles…(except for cake!!) Ain’t nobody got time for hamster motions…

    I love that you’re always smiling! You are too cute. πŸ™‚ I definitely do feel you on the whole not liking sprints thing. I tried running the 200 and 400 but absolute hated it. In fact I think they’re part of the reason why I used to hate running so much! Long distance is more my cup of tea. πŸ™‚

      I think the 400 is possibly the WORST race. A full lap of sprinting.. death!

    I love how you have a smile on your face in like 95% of the pictures πŸ˜‰ I don’t think I’d be a fan of track either. I’m much more of a slow, leisurely, take my time, kinda runner πŸ˜‰
