So the best news is that on May 14th was my divisional Track and Field meet. Even though I didn't make it to zones and only got fouth, I beat my personal best. I ran the 1500 m and finished with a time of 6:42. The day before I ran the 1500 m twice and timed it to be 8:17. I knew I was 3 minutes slow of being any kind of competition. My amazing success coach from our school who was on the track and field team told me that I needed to make a goal time and put that time in my head and I would get it. I decided that although it was crazy I would increase my time by almost 2 minutes. I decided that I would take only 2 minutes per lap with 30 seconds on my last 3/4 lap taking a total time of 6:30. So I only was off my target by 12 seconds and I increased my time by almost 2 minutes in one day. That's pretty great if you ask me. woot woot! I love exercise. I just wish I had more time to do it! Also, I'm still working towards the 5 km Colour Me Rad run in Calgary in June. I have a long way to go!
