When you expect to get a worse mile time than what you expected, and then beating your mile record. By: Fernando Leyva-Montiel

When you expect to get a worse mile time than what you expected, and then beating your mile record.




I really do not understand how I was able to do this even though when I was expecting to run this final mile i districts 10 seconds slower than what I usually run because of how nervous I was.

Thank God that's not how it turned out because according to my family I was running 1,000 per hour as if I was some cheetah sprinting the whole time( That's not what happen). Throughout the race I kept a good pace which was what led me up to that's second place, but honestly i have to give it to the first place, even though he literally tripped everyone in the begging just to get to the front. Hate people that do that.

Know that I look back to this moment I still do not remember young me running that fast. I don’t know if its because I got way faster this year, but since my parents recorded me running, I'm pretty sure i was running as fast as a sloth.

I mean getting second in the mile for districts is great and all( 7 grade ), but every once in a while I feel like I didn’t deserve it. Remember when I mentioned the first place kid, well he was that one kid that decides to ruin everyone's day y tripping them. Know I know that, that sounds like a childish thing but it gets real when you trip on the track.(trust me I've been there before it doesn't feel good). Any ways if that kid didn’t decide to mess things up I wouldn't be feeling that bad. Well anyways that was last year.

The only thing that excited me, was expecting to get a worse mile time than I expected, and then beating my mile record.
AWESOME!
