forget your past.
I tell em I ride solo, but they don’t really know doh,……
Swaggggger…… its going crazy off the charts; when people try to front, I always finish what they start.

she’d blow shit in smoke and take whole hearted risks..
get more out of life than something obscure-
something complex- beyond your own understanding,
something so sacred not always saved but here I am standing.
I’m more than a selfless wreck, I’m more than a piece of flesh who takes what she gets and has no regrets.
#dropping bars to raise awareness for something so presh :x aset
"The nature of human beings never changes; it is immutable. The present generation of children and the present generation of young adults from the age of thirteen to eighteen is, therefore, no different from that of their great-great-grandparents. Political fads come and go; theories rise and fall; the scientific ‘truth’ of today becomes the discarded error of tomorrow. Man’s ideas change, but not his inherent nature. That remains. So, if the children are monstrous today – even criminal – it is not because their natures have become polluted, but because they have not been taught better, nor disciplined."

TRACK
Months of getting back into shape and I completely lose it in 4 days of no running.
When I say shape, I speak in terms of skill.
- Regulating my breathing
- Arm movement (BeDrOckK)
- Support
- Strengths/Weaknesses
- Energy kick-ins during practice
SATURDAY
Cerritos Allcomer’s Meet: 800m @2:40
Told a teammate to pace me. At one point she began to slow down. Problem: stayed with her for too long before deciding to pass her. Second time I get 2:40. Time to shave seconds off!
SUNDAY- WEDNESDAY
unneccessary. unintentional. break. didn’t make me, its destroying me. (temporarily)
THURSDAY
9 (400m)- 74-78 seconds each.
May be on the verge of hyperventilating at one point or another but I feel completely fine on the inside. Let me wheeze my heart out in peace.
400m p.r is 65 seconds. Goal: Endurance.
1600m self-timed p.r is 5:21. Goal: Get this timed by an automated timer. Get it in the books.
LongTermGoals: Top 3 in every school meet.
Moore League Prelims.
Moore League Finals.
CIF.
Headlines.
WAY below the radar at this point, but season starts in two weeks and its time to get recognized.
FRIDAY
3 (20 minute) runs.
When I hear 20 min. runs, I hear at least 2 1/2 miles for each set. Whether or not my team goes at my pace. Whether or not I look like an overachiever. Its all about the sport. Track and Field. I work for myself. Not to outdo others. Not to show off. Never to put people who just talk in their place. I train to the best of my own abilities.
Forget what you think.
DISLIKE
When people join sports to lose weight. Track in particular. No offense, but if you aren’t going to try to quit being the runt of the team, to make it big at nationals if there is anything you could do to help it, or to at least pretend like you enjoy running then get lost. Not to mention bagging on those who go “all out” each practice, who have sleep deprivation aka not being able to run to the best of their abilities due to insomnia…., muscle spasms, and of course, stress. Daily. I don’t see shit past my goals. I eat, sleep, and think intervals, the smell of grass, recovery, stability, strength, light jogs, sprints, weather, competition, and most importantly, FEAR.
I only pay attention to time- by the second- as I’m running. As I count each second.. as I zone into my pace at the moment, I’m completely zoned into a list of my weaknesses too.
I can think of 100 things I do wrong each time I run. When I receive compliments on how “fast” I am, I truly appreciate it. Sometimes its all it takes to get me to stop thinking that I never work hard enough.
Only until my legs are on fire, til my breathing is out of control, til my body aches with pain, and I can hardly keep myself standing, will I be able to feel accomplished.
My legs burned, couldn’t breathe, and body ached for months now. Now I step back into running after four days and I feel the same. Didn’t slow down, but still extremely disappointed.
Every good runner knows what they need to work on to improve the next time they run.
Give me two weeks. I’ll make up for this. Still top runner in group 2 though. Goal: Move up to Group 1 next month. You don’t know how serious I take Track.
COLLEGES
USC acceptance = Major Possibility
Pepperdine Recruitment = Major Possibility
CSULB & CSUDH acceptances so far.
Straight A’s so far.
Let’s do this.
Leeet me get in my zone.
If you’re not running with me, get out of my way.
-> These snakes may slither upon me time and time again but I won’t let them control me. I have control over what thinks it knows me. Face these creatures day in and day out, still I know my morals, values, and strengths, I keep them in mind when I’m out and about, when I’m up different streets or down the same route; I’m down the same path you intended for me to follow, help me show enough gratitude because you give me much more to borrow. Help me give thanks because I get much more than what I deserve. Help me come closer to you, you’re the one I intend to serve.

Teach me how to love and be loved. How to steal hearts without getting mine stolen. How to win every time regardless of how close I come to losing. How to lie with no remorse. How to never hide my pride. Teach me how you do it all with grace, how to laugh in the faces of those who compete in this race. I’ll never be half as close minded as you are. Bitch, I’m in first place.
Cheat me. Decieve me. g3t @T mEEh!

Take flight, take flight as they do in the wild,
put up a fight, there’s a strong fight within you little child.

Yesterday’s Stats
After running (6) 600’s on Monday, I was expecting a recovery run yesterday.
Womp womp womp.. We had more hard work!
I ran 8 (500’s)
(1 lap is 400 so yeah)…….. I missed practice all last week to raise my math grade til 4pm everyday.
I came back to practice on Monday. It was pretty damn successful.
- laps improved from 90 seconds to 76 seconds
- mile under 5:30. goal.
(by Megan Lorenz)
Successful ass day.
Got hard copies of my letters of recommendation sent to USC <3
Nothing special with the guy I like but it’s okay, he’s da shotcaller.
Mind blanked out at perfect times.
Nice to know I can miss a week of track practice to raise my Pre- Calculus grade, and come back to practice having PR’s on my 400’s.
1 lap went from 90 to 76 seconds(:
If I keep up with these splits, I can get closer to having a mile under 5:30!
After each 600 we ran, I had a thousand reasons to give up and only one reason to keep pushing- the love of athleticism. Cheesy but it’s what helps me get through high school.
3 years of volleyball.
Going on 2 years of Track.
I feel pretty damn accomplished to be running with the best of the best now.
