The World According To Madeleine

Track season has ended. Track was a lot of fun this year. Everyone pretty much seemed to get along, or they just left you alone if you didn’t like each other. All the seventh graders were awesome, I made a lot of seventh-grade friends, who I’m going to miss an awful lot next year. I’m hoping that they’ll all join the the cross country and track team when they join the rest of us in high school. In addition to making a lot of friends and just generally having fun, the girls team was great, we won a lot of meets including the Wolverine Conference Meet at the end of the season. I met people, we won a lot, and I found my race. Speaking of my race, my PR is still 2:54, but at a relay meet my split might’ve beaten that, if not it tied, I’ll just have to look at the video again to check the time. Also, at the conference meet, I ran the 55 hurdles, and I managed to finally three-step the hurdles, except for the last one, where I lost speed and panicked, it slowed me down, but I won my heat.

Also on the running subject, cross country training is starting this summer, and hopefully I’ll be able to go to training camp, that sounds like a lot of fun. Cross country next year just sounds fun, we get to run the game ball to homecoming, and we’ll do this thing called the twenty-four hour marathon, where the whole cross country team goes to the track and one person runs a mile, then another, and it goes on for a day. That sounds like a lot of fun, but for people who don’t like to run it sounds like torture. Thank goodness I like to run. The coaches seem nice, and they say that all the runners are nice and we all end up loving each other. Extra bonus.
