I Open at the Close

I guess you could say that my high school career is really starting to come to a close now. Today is the beginning of the end.
We now interrupt this post to bring you a brief message relating to my statement "Today is the beginning of the end." That really makes me think of Harry Potter and the whole message in the snitch "I open at the close". I'm kinda obsessed. And if you think about it this is really and opening and a closing. High school ending is my closing, and because that's closing the rest of my life is opening! Anyway we now return you to the main post.
Slightly bittersweet.... It's the first day of track season. :) I could not be happier, but it really just hit me about 10 minutes ago that my high school life is closing.  Once this season is over, I have a few weeks left in high school. Then it's off into the unknown... Man I'm not completely sure if I'm ready for this. Way to much to think about and not enough time! For now though, track is the focus of my life!

Average Day for Julie

6:17-Wake up and get ready

7:00ish-Leave for school

7:30-2:10-School (Which involves weight training where I am doing lifts to help with track)

2:10-2:30-Enjoy my few moments of doing nothing

2:30-5:30ish(Sometimes as late as 6 or 6:30)-TRACKKKK! 

6ish-Dinner

7ish-Homework if I have any; working on strength building if I don't (For track)

Hopefully around 9 or 9:30-Bedddd.

See what I mean? GIANT parts of my day are for track, or track training. Man I'm dedicated. :P But that's exactly what I'm gonna need to be if I'm gonna get to state!

That is where I plan to be competing this year. Mt. Tahoma Stadium. I will compete there twice actually. Districts May 20th and May 21st and then state May 27th and May 28th! Oh how I just can't wait. For now though, the training continues. Today's workout.... 8 Minute Abs. Next, fitness test with the sprinters. That was challenging. And it bothers me that it was that hard, but oh well. Then more abs. Then some line jumping stuff with the jumpers. Followed by scorpion things that Dusty introduced us too. Next, it was up to the weight room for sumo squats, around the worlds, push ups, and some other squatting. Swing up drills came next, along with ground drills to build the core strength for the swing up drills. Almost done now! Did some shoulder work, some back muscle training, more squatting and nowwww we are on the last one! Finished off the workout by trying to train the absolute lowest abs you can get, which was literally close to impossible.
Wow that was a good 7 lines just describing my workout. Told you I was working hard! And the hard work will continue, all the way up until I complete my goal. State baby, state. It all comes down to that. I now leave you with this random fact (This is going to become my new way of ending my amazing little posts.)

The can opener was invented 48 years after the can.
