So I finally got around to getting a new blog after the first two failed. My first running blog was pretty lame because I just sucked half way through XC. I would’ve kept the second one but I forgot my password and Blogspot/Google Accounts was acting like a bitch so yea…new blog.
I already have a log for running, which I will use for more specific stuff, but I’ll still post general comments and stuff unrelated to my log on here.
Running
It has been pretty awesome lately. I don’t really know how I got back in shape. After the shitty XC & winter track seasons, I just decided to stop sucking. I can honestly say that I’m in the best shape of my life and have reinvented my whole outlook on running, although I still have A LOT to improve upon. I think the difference was that I was overanalyzing things before and worrying to much. Now I just have one goal in mind while running: stay up and run fast. I’m really excited for spring, not only for myself but for the entire team. This is going to be the greatest track season in Holmdel history. Just some things to anticipate: George sub 4:15/9:00; Kev Hsu, Sean, Robby, Ollie sub 10:00/4:30; 6 or more freshman breaking 5; possible records in the 4×800, DMR, 4×1600, etc.; Friggly sub 2:00, Stefan sub-10:00; a bunch of other guys 4:30-4:30/10:00-10:20 range. This is going to be an epic season.
Goals
4:40 is what I’m really focused on. I don’t really know what I want to run for the 3200 & 800. After the 2:15 that I treated as a workout/time trial, I would say sub-2:10 would be a good goal. Some non-PR goals I have are to definitely stay healthy and injury free for the rest of high school, build a strong core/abdominal area (something I’ve been trying to do for a long time), turn 8:00 fw/bw & 9:00 toploops from all-out into “just another run”, inspire my brother to work harder & run faster (5:2x maybe?), and just stop worrying about trivial things and have more confidence to run fast.
and of course, my first varsity letter
Poppin
Well this is something I’ve kind of kept as a secret but I really enjoy it. I’ve been improving a lot and I’m planning to really learn a lot of new stuff when I get the chance (maybe spring break). Look out for a possible video soon.
School
Ugh…..classes are going ok (except Bio). I have a good chance at getting A’s in English, APUSH, Physics, Chinese, if I work hard. Bio is a lost cause. I’m just going to try to pull of a high C. I really have to start studying for my two AP tests + SAT IIs + SAT (2020 -_-). Hopefully I can do well the rest of this year and senior yea to counterbalance my shitty GPA from freshman and sophomore year. Still have no idea where I want to go for college and what I want to major in.
Social Life
Pretty much nonexistant right now. I hang out with track kids mainly, but other than that I’m a complete introvert towards other people. Girls?…haha, I am really doubting my chances of getting a date to prom this year.
Well that’s about it for now. I should start my homework soon. O yea, the name…well I started watching Dragon Ball Z lately..and yea…”Stuff”, “I love JC”, and other names were already taken.
