So, the end of my season was rather disappointing. During our league race, I tore a muscle in the arch of my foot at about the first mile mark. Obviously, it was VERY painful!! therefore, I placed 2nd to a girl I had never lost to before. Then at the District race, I tried to run my best, but was about a minute slower than what I wanted and normally run. I placed 2nd again to the same girl. Then at the Regional race, I some how managed to run a PR and qualified to State for the first time. I was extremely happy, but then I started thinking about what I could have done if I didn't have the torn muscle. The girl I talked about placed 9th, and I placed 13th. There was an article about my race in the local paper. Here it is: EASTERN HILLS JOURNAL
Then at the State meet, it felt like my muscle re-tore right before the first mile mark. I ran a bad time and placed 54 places lower than what I was seeded. It was depressing, but now I'm more motivated for the track season. I can't wait to see what I can do when I'm healthy!!
