Track 07
All throughout high school I've run on the track and cross country teams but I took my freshman year off here. I still ran on my own during the year and even competed unattached a couple of times and have tryouts soon for the fall/winter track season this year. I trained harder this summer than I ever have before yet when I came here for the start of my sophomore year my confidence slowly started fading. I've been in contact with the coach and continued my training here at school but now that its finally here, I have small doubts. I see other people, perhaps training for sports in the spring, running outside and I just wonder if I'm doing enough or why would they take me now that I already missed a year. Not only making the team, but if I do make it, will I be able to handle how much more running is involved to stay on the team? I know I wont be the best or tops on the team, and coming from a high school where I was the number 1 guy it's gonna be a difficult transition. Maybe I'm just crazy and thinking to much, which I really hope it is. The bottom line is that I can only do so much and hope that my best is good enough which in the past it always has been. I guess I really dont have that much to worry about, especially if I do make the team. But hopefully all this nervous energy is good and will force me to try harder and workout more to get better.

I love track. I run around the state forest paths everyday for an hour or more with my husky. Great exercise, and a great way to relax, blow off steam, forget about school for a while.
I can relate to how you're feeling - I attended a large high school and tried out for track & field. I made the team all four years because my best events were the high jump and hurdles. Hang in there!
