800m



As I get into my lane for the 800m race it feels like I am going to pea my pants( luckily I didn’t).  I think to myself will I get better than what I did last time or worse? Can’t think now.  “Set”. WA-BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gun sounded like my alarm But 900,000,000,005 times louder.

I ran like I had been taught to, only move your arms and legs don’t move anything else.  We run around the track like a pack of wild dogs chasing a rabbit.  I scoot up into second place but slowly move down as if I’m a fire going out after a bucket of water has been tipped over it.

Still running like I did at the start of the race I speed up and go into 4th place. As I come into the last lap I hear Miss Joy (she is one of the amazing teachers at Halfmoon Bay School)  screaming“GO MARLEY GO! KEEP THE SPEED UP!” So I kick up into 20th gear as I speed into third.

Going around the last corner scares me because all of my friends are counting on me.  I try to sprint but what the... I’m out of gas.  I try to heave myself to the finish before more people catch up to me. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I scream as I get into 7th place and finish.

Oh god I would rather eat a blue cods eye ball than do that again... but next weekend I have to do the 1500M race NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
