Hi, My name's Alex, and I've been in the track buisness since I was about 8 years old when we had competitions at Mount SAC. community college. I still enjoy the track life now at 15 blaugh ! The only event I really like are sprints of any kind!  

[kendretti]

I guess I should do a little intro here too!

My name is Kendra and I started cross country 3 seasons ago. In my region, everybody is really really fast and I'm near the end. Front of the end section, or end of the middle section. Depends on my day. However, when travelling to a different region for a meet this year, I found out that I was faster down there and got my first trophy!! biggrin I was so excited because it was the only time I was gonna earn something besides participation ribbons ("Finisher...always a winner!" lol) I never did get into track though. I play tennis in the spring season.

You're allowed to talk about anything here! If it were just about running, it would get too boring! And this is the get to know your fellow members thread, so anything goes! But that is really exciting! I haven't picked my racket up for the season yet! Our first match is monday after break but me and my friend have been too busy with the school play to go to tennis practice. The play is over now, so there won't be any further conflicts. We are hoping to get together for a practice on sunday though so we don't go into the match totally unprepared!

[KasumiAngel]

Hi, I'm Kasumi. I started running track when I was in Middle School. The 800m was my best even then. I dropped out of track in High School because I had major issues with my coach. I did keep running every afternoon though in my neighborhood (so I didn't ever give up on running). I ran off and on in college (usually when I had a roommate who'd run with me and keep me going out the door). It's so easy to get lazy in college. I'm married and in grad school now, and I run with my husband when I can, which isn't nearly as often as I'd like. We play tennis too, and adore DDR. smile

Go ahead and introduce yourself here. Say a few things about yourself, like what you like to do when you aren't running and go ahead and list a little bit about you and your running life.

My name is Natasha. i enjoy writing, listening to music, hanging out, and surfing the internet.

i run in college. my main event is the 800 but i also run the 4x4 and the 1500 sometimes. i enjoy roadracing but my coach is weird about the girls running any races other than in the summer and no longer than a 5k but i still do a few in the winter and run 8ks and 10ks.

my prs are

100 - 13s, ya i am more of 5k type.
200 - 28 i am soo not a sprinter
400 - i used to run 59s but now i run a consistant 63 everytime i run 4x4.
800 - used to be 2:18 but i run around the 2:25 range now. my fastest was 2:22 in indoor.
mile - high 5:20s
1500 - 5:07
3200 - havent run since high school. ran a 12:05 on the track at state and a 11:43 at conference, both when i was senior.
5k - 19:18 in high school, 19:30s-19:50s in college.
10k - 43:24

i want to move up to longer distances because i think in college, you start getting old and slow.
my coach wont let me run the 3k or the 5k in track and doesn't let me run the 1500 that much. which is totally different from my high school coach who always had me running the mile and 2 mile which i used to hate.
my best friends are Cindy, Rachel, Adeline, Adelaide, and Daniel who is also my boyfriend. some of them post on gaia online. (cindy's is marajadeskywalker, Daniel's is mad mak, and rachel's is ravenbird)  

[trackstar06]

i am jess, and i am a junior at a tiny high school in texas. i run the two hurdle events, plus i do a little high jumping (cuz are coaches think if oyu can hurdle, you can high jump). i've been to the regional track meet as a freshman in both events and then last year as a sophomore in the 100m hurdles...plan on going again this year! the summer after my freshman year i placed 17th in 100m hurdles and 9th in the 300m hurdles at the summer track state meet...i love to run, this is my only sport...(sorry if this sounds like bragging, it's not meant to be, i'm just proud of what i've done, and like i said,this is my only sport...) i also act.  

[netsrik]

I'm so glad that this is up!

Anyway, my name is Kirsten, and i've been running for 4 years. I go to a school in New Jersey that is well know for it's distance running. I've run Cross Country all 4 years in high school, and my pr is 20:49. I also run winter track and Spring track. My coach has me all over the place for my events. I've pulled away from the distance and have become a hurdler/sprinter/jumper. I'm hoping this year to make it to Groups in more than 1 event this year (i've made it in triple jump for the past 2 years). I'm planning to keep running when i go to college. My first meet is this saterday and i'm gonna try steeple chase for the first time. sweatdrop Wish me luck!
