I wanted to update my journal so that everyone didn't think I quit, I just haven't been posting here at all which is my bad. Anyways, my basketball team won OFSAA for AA in Ontario, which is best in the province for our school size. It was amazing, unforunately I didn't play much but nonetheless, it was an unbeliveable experience. Right as basketball finished, I started a course at school where you train to run a half a marathon in Ottawa with 10,000 people. My goals of basketball and vertical jump trainging have not ceased but are just on hold until my course ends which is in two weeks when the half marathon is. I've also been doing track and field which is new to me. So currently I'm about 6 foot 1 and 140 lbs or around there. I haven't measured my vertical in a while but I can grab rim. As for weightlifting, I haven't done really any legs work because of all my running lately, but I have just maintained my upper body, which is still weak. I plan do complete my half marathon in under 1:35:00, since I did 18km in 1:21:50 so I think its quite achieveable. Here are my track times from our meet today:
3000m - 11:11
1500m - 5:05
800m- 2:30
This was my first time doing track since elementary school, and I'm in Grade 11 by the way. I got beat pretty bad which is no surprise but I think I can really improve my times and I'd love to keep doing track in the future since I'm really starting to enjoy running. Anyways, this was just an update to show that I'm still here.
