Perhaps...

Feeling: hungry
You know what? I think I might not be a sprinter... Okay at Friday's track practice we did a 600, two 400s, a 300, and a 200 I think, don't quote me on that. So the first one I was pretty much with Blair (who was first) the whole time and two four hundreds I was and the three hundred. But then I totally sucked at the 200 and got next to last or maybe last, I can't remember. And then at the scrimmage, I ran the 100 and got off the blocks all weird which is probably why I was last since I'm really not that slow. But when it was over, everyone was like gasping for air and I was like *chill* which made me think hmmmm...maybe I'm not trying Which I'm not, I keep running instead of sprinting. And the same thing happened on the 200 except in the 200 I was sprinting then I was like, I don't really feel like sprinting anymore even though I wasn't tired and started running. I just like to run better than sprint. Running helps me relax and I just feel better when I do it. Sprinting is more like you start panting and your legs hurt and you completely hate it and want to get it over with. I like the feeling I get when I'm running, I don't want to get all tired out from some stupid race where I pushed myself to my limit. Because I don't push myself, I just can't. My brain's like, umm maybe you try a little harder and my body's just like, no, i like this pace, screw you. Me: Dad, I have no motivation to run. Dad: You run to win! Me: I don't care if I win... Dad: Then I don't know what to tell you. I don't really think I'm a long distance runner either- I don't know what I am.

hi emily, it's kelly. I had to get a new diary, so now i have a three.
I know kind of how you feel but not with track. I had the same type of thing go on with dance. You should just do what you want to do; and quit the sprinting and just do the running, if you can do that and if thta made any sense. anyways, i hope it turns out.

everyone says that i should do track but...well..yea
Do either the 800 or the 400. They're right in the middle. The 400 is an awkward length, because a lot of sprinters can really only go about 300 until they slow up. The 800 is near-sprinting the whole time. If you can keep up a fast pace, then try that one out.

Now, I REALLY have no motivation to do dustance. Seeing as we run to a place and back, the first half I'm saying "I'm getting farther away from the goal."
I'm not entirely sure what I'm running, but I'll probably do the 16000. Maybe the 800, but I'm better at the 1600. I might try a little sprinting sometime, I dont really know.
No idea. This is my first year too. I suppose the better you are, the more events you do. I think sprinters do more and distance runners do less. I'm not sure how many people do.
happy easter!

Hey Emlily

I just wanted to tell you that no matter what kind of runner are i think its really cool you decided to be in track. I remeber you telling me that you loved running, but you diddnt want to make it competitive, and thats why you diddnt want to do track/crosscountry. So i love hearing that you are keeping up with the top runners your first time doing track! I wish i couuld do that. . .

good luck!
love always
