Track Vs. Life

Track is something I love to do. The enjoyment of it is outrageous. However, lately because of track I don't have enough time to do any of the other stuff I do. Which is like homework, chores, and sleep. In fact I have a track meet tomorrow at 10 and I have to wake up at 6. My time schedule is not big enough for track. Track is five times a day from three through five or six. For the special varsity runners it is five to seven.

My normal schedule with out track is wake up go to school, get out of school, and then straight home and repeat. So during track season it squeezes my time even more. Track is said to be one of "easy" sport. I think that is some kind of joke. I hear a lot of people say "oh I can do that too". It is when we actually do the hard stuff people DON'T want to be in track. In fact I am injured because of track right now.

Another great impact that track has have on my life is grades. Oh man where to start? At the starting line Ha Ha Track joke. Anyways, my grades has definitely dropped because of track. I am not studying as much as I have wanted to. Every time I go to sleep I tell myself that I would go to the media center to do extra work but that never happens. I also have to sacrifice my weekends sometimes for track meets and practices.

Track is hard on the body, soul, and mind but there are some good things about it. Some good things are meeting people and racing people. I also loved running against fast people. The thrill of it is unexplainable. I also love the feeling you get when your in zone. Where you block out all other sounds you just focus. Last but not least the track COACH. He is one of the funniest guys I have ever met. He is just so cool with everything. Occasionally he gets mad but it is mostly our fault.

Overall track is a good thing. It has kept me occupied so I'm not always bored of having the same old routine. It's nice to have a change once in a while. I also love all the end of the year parties too. Okay I should sleep now wish me luck!
