One thing I've noticed over the weekend......I'm not that fast.....at all. So, the Christian school that I play sports with, Aberdeen Christian, has a cross country team. Of course I decided to go out for it, mostly to stay in shape and be fast for basketball, but also cause I thought that I wasn't all that slow. As it turns out, I'm like a turtle. You remember the story of the rabbit and the turtle (or was it tortoise and hair...?), well, I was the turtle. Okay so in the story, the rabbit's all like "I'm so fast! I drank like 37, 5 Hour Energies and I feel like I could run a mile....or three!" And the tortoise is going "Fool! I will be wise and slow, because I know that you will sleep on the way, and then I'll come back from an impossible distance to whup your furry bottom!"
So that was my plan; be the turtle, and then come from behind to actually place. It would have worked too, if two things would have happened. Thing One: All the other racers would have slowed down to a walk for no reason other then my sheer awesomeness at the end. Thing Two: I would have had 37 energy drinks. Actually, the more I think about it, I should just buy one of those little IV dispenser things that has wheels, put the IV in my arm, and fill the bag with energy drink. That would probably kill me though and then I would never win a race.
Anyways in truth I finished last in my team of four, I got 35th place out of I think 52, and I ran a 5K in just over 21 minutes. Oh btw....hold on a sec I just can't resists.
BTW!!! By the way, BTW stands for By The Way. For all you non-schooling, cow-befriending, more-boring-then-roadkill, spam-buying, old-western-addicted, home-schoolers! Oh and non-texting. Cause I'm pretty sure that if you had texting, you would know the lingo, even if you don't use it. Which I only do half the time.
Back to the real story. So yeah a 5K is like 3.1 miles, which isn't that bad....if your Usain Bolt. But yeah I ran the race and almost died at the end, and actually wasn't all that mad at myself. I mean come on. It was my first cross country race and I ran at an average pace of 7 minutes per mile. You try that! That's all I'm saying. Alright enough of the trashing myself then making myself awesome :P . Yesterday, no wait Friday night, my fam' and I watched the movie Unknown. You know the one with Liam Neeson, were he like forgets his memory and crazy stuff happens? Yeah that one. Anyways It was a pretty good movie, well paced, good plot, and the acting job by Liam was astounding. He has to be one of my favorites.
So yeah check it out. It's worth the dollar at Redbox. Alright I am done. Don't become lamb chops, and I'll see you ~later.
