I just joined the track team at my high school.. At the beginning of each season they have a 5k fun run to raise money for the team. That 5k run happened to be today. So me, my mom, and my dad all woke up early this morning and met at Elton park. There, they shuttled us up to the gun club. We warmed up and the coach shot his gun and off we went.. The very first part was uphill but it was mostly downhill. I took off running with a group of my friends. There were times i wanted to stop but i wanted to keep up with my friends so i pushed myself harder... There was a lady there from the newspaper taking pictures. When we finished the race she came up to us and asked for our names. Then, she told us as we were running closer to her she noticed we have A LOT of personality and just had to take our pictures for the newspaper!! It would be pretty cool if i made the front cover.(: haha.
When i was running and saw the finish line me and Jackie pushed as hard as we could to make it there as fast as we could. It felt good to cross the line and have all those people cheering for you. I came in 68th place (out of an estimate of 200 people). my time was 37:54. Its nice having all this support from my family and track team. I'm excited to be trying new things and meeting new people.!
Good job Mac! I am so proud of you for trying something new! I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you make some great friends on the team! I am happy you are trying something new and actually going with it, because there were so many things I wanted to do in high school, but didn't, and now I regret! So I look up to you for that ( or eye to eye...since we are about the same height. hehe)Love ya sis!
