New Post!

Wow, I haven't really written anything in a while. . . this is mainly due to my hits, and feed counter being really messed up. I was having a lot of fun seeing how well people where responding to the articles that I was writing. When all of that stuff got messed up, I wasn't having as much fun writing. It was funny, because on the day Halo 3 launched, I put the word Halo in one of my blog posts a bunch of times and my traffic for that day went up probably 5 times what I was usually receiving.

Also, I have been REALLY busy, the actual track season finally started! This means that I have been lifting in the mornings and running in the evenings on most days. I also started learning techniques for all of the events I'm going to be doing. So far, I think that the two events that are going to be the hardest technique wise are definitely the 110 High-Hurdles and the Pole-Vault. I think that I can be a very good pole vaulter, but It's just going to take some time getting used to it. The problem with the hurdles, is that right now I am not nearly flexible enough to get my legs over the hurdles. I am cutting back on the weights and stretching a ton to try and get more flexible.

I'm not that great at the throws yet, but I think I will be able to throw the disc and javelin a long ways. The college disc is heavier (I'm told) than the high school one, but you can't really tell. It seems to fly just as well or better than the high school one. I should be able to do all right in the shot put but it will be the hardest throw for me because it requires the most brute strength which I don't have a ton of.

Fortunately, I will do plenty well in the sprints and jumps. My long jump can be really good and my 100m should be good. The 400m, and high jump should be decent events for me also. I'm not really great at the 1500m, but I should be able to gut-it-out.

I have really been putting on the pounds for some reason, but I like it. A couple times weighing myself I have been over 200 pounds. This probably isn't the best for the sprints and jumps, but it should be good for the throws. I'm going to try and be a solid 200 pounds come November. As long as I don't start seeing fat, and I'm running a lot, I should be fine.

I'll try to write more. . .
