#800meter

[cmjhawk86]

Shots from #meetday at PG County today. I hadn’t done a real #trackandfield race indoors in 3 years so I went into this knowing I would be rusty and I would probably get smoked. Both were true. But there’s only one way to bust the rust and that’s to get out there and race. I started off with the 1600 and while I said I had no real goal, in my heart I really wanted to break 7:00. Also I knew it would be hard. But I came so close, running 7:03. For perspective, back in June when I did a #miletimetrial on the 1-year anniversary of my surgery I ran 7:59. And today was my fastest mile since the surgery. My real long term goal is to get back under 6:00, but that’s a ways off to be sure. For today I’ll take what I got and go from there. I then ran the #800meter after trying to do what I could to clear lactic acid out of my legs from the mile, but it didn’t work I guess. At about 500 meters, the wheels completely fell off as my legs and lungs both burned. I staggered across the line in an ugly 3:29. Basically I ran the first 400 at around 6:00 pace, and the second 400 around 8:00 pace. But I wasn’t done yet. I wanted a little more work so I did the #3000meter. At this point I had abandoned any pretense of being competitive in this race, especially after the 800 filled my legs with toxins. I switched from spikes to flats and told myself it would just be a tempo run. I watched the field gallop away from me right off the line but I swallowed whatever pride I had left and stuck to my plan. The 15:14 I ran equates to 8:10/mile, which according to the #mcmillanrunning calculator, is 8:10/mile right on current #temporun pace. It all adds up to very vigorous workout day and a needed reorientation to the track. I’ve got one more meet next month, down in Virginia Beach at the @tidewaterstriders all-comers meet. I’ll be looking to make some improvements there. #onerunatatime #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz #altragoldenspike #atreyubasemodel (at Prince Georges Sports & Learning Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CndBpM_OPRd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got a vet appointment on the 16th. Here's to hoping just blood work will be enough to see what might be up with my little old man.

Also I dunno if I should laugh or cry bc taking a taxi to the other side of the city for the local "common animal healthcare" vet is cheaper than going to the small clinic like 800meters from my home. The taxi alone costs like 105€ there and back but is still - significantly- cheaper compared overall.

High School-

Joining my high-school team helped me find the events and the distance that I wanted to perform. 800meters, 1600meters, 4x4 relay and 4x8 relay where te events that I would run every meet. My favorite one was the 800meters.

With this team and this coach I became faster and stronger hitting PRs every meet. I felt like I was living the dream I always wanted since 7 years old. I got to train every day and I also found friends for life. I just wished I had join this team sooner and not in my senior year.

I always wanted to run for college but at the end I did not get the chance to get there. I am just very grateful that I got the chance to run for Cypress Bay High School.

A lot of photos because I have climbed with my father a 800m route which is a combination of "Richterweg 5+ (var.)" & "Stadelwandgrat 3".

As you can see in the first two pictures the rock is wet, pretty much soaked with water. Later on, already in Stadelwandgrat, the clouds became less and the blue sky was at times visible. The only drawback was the very strong wind.

This precarious weather gave this tour an alpine vibe. I was fighting against various elements of the nature. Thereby I was growing, getting stronger and more experienced.

Had a great opportunity to see my little sister compete today. Talk about drive, freshman competing on this stage as well as crushing a 4.0 gpa. #proudbigbrother #whatdoyouknowaboutbobcats #quindoortrack #800meter #running (at Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZTIemFDk6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lip1xxuf750y

#coachlife sometimes means fitting in your own runs when you can. And that was me today. We had a morning meet indoors at #thomasjeffersoncommunitycenter so I was busy coaching all morning and helping to run the #highjump. Then after I walked back to my car afterwards I decided there was no time like the present to get my miles in. I logged 5 miles in chilly snow flurry conditions then finished up with drills and striders. I’m planning to take my first dip back into real track racing of my own tomorrow at an all comers meet. I have zero expectations after a 3-year absence from the track, it will just be to get reacclimated and get some work in. Hopefully I can run the #milerun, #800meters, and #3000meters. No #longjump planned for tomorrow but I may try it a month or so from now. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz (at Arlington, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnaHc81ukC7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I first started interacting with #elite and #worldclassathletes and #celebrities I didn't chronicle my own personal experiences and achievements dating back to #highschoolsports. My #hs coach #hermanbaker help me become #allcity, #allpublic, public schools at the time could not go to states. I became a #highschoolallamerican, #juniorolympian, #juniornationalchampion with #morrisestatetrackteam in #daytonohio before heading to #pennstateuniversity from #northphiladelphia and #olneyhighschool. I ran track #400meters 47.9 #800meters low 1.50's, #1500meters @ high 3.50's, @ 4.12 in the mile, in the 9.20's for #2miles. High 14's for 2.9 miles, won district titles, #GeorgeSteinbronn #LincolnHS and I broke the #publicleague cross country record at the #belmontplateau and more. Gotta get with my coach to recall my accolades. I lost my portfolio, precious pictures and numerous awards and trophies. A #friend told me that I should start to carry a #camera even though you are an #eliteathlete. Some people know you, but everyone doesn't, but that's okay. The #world only believes what it sees .Unfortunately, I lost alot of my #hardware I had accumulated with news clippings and all I had accumulated trophies trips around the world with #TeamUSA, with the eagles,etc. In retrospect thats great, that's alot for your children to emulate they need to create their own life, plans, formulate the life that they are meant to live I never was trying to shine or upstage the athletes, celebrities I met, worked with or chilled with. Wish I had those pictures now. The world believes what it sees. Social media as we know it today did not exist. What I didn't know is one day I would be an author, radioshow host, then I could share my stories, triumphs, disappointments things I'm gonna get into in my new book. Never Judge. Maybe, I know now I was not ready for some things I was blessed with early on in my life. I wasn't strong enough, prepared enough to fulfill my destiny. You never know what GOD is preparing you and others for. Learn as much as you can about the things that bring you joy and that you are passionate about. Share your story, it's not yours to harbor away, to keep (at Tarboro, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDE9XdUl36b/?igshid=3uotaqq1v4a8

TBT to back in College. 800 meters was a full on sprint. When we crossed the 200 meter mark at the beginning of a race, we could have won@most high school 200 meter races. Of course we still had 600 meters to go.

Tadashi Hamada Fanfiction (Short Story)- Chapter 2

"I'm so excited that we have a new friend! What kind of inventor are you, do you like explosions! How about chemicals!" You backed up into the wall at Honey Lemon's questions.

You knew she was just trying to get to know you, but you were shy by nature. This wasn't exactly the easiest situation for you to be in. Tadashi placed a hand on her shoulder, easing her back. "Honey Lemon, maybe if you will give her a chance to breathe she can answer your questions." She blinked, covering her mouth. "Oh how rude of me I'm sorry!" you smiled.

"I-It's okay. And to answer one of your questions no I'm not an inventor, my brother is." You pointed to Luke who was occupied at Wasabi's station.

"I'm an athlete." that caught her interest. "That's so cool! What sport?"

"W-Well I run track." Luke perked up. "She's amazing. " he pulled out his phone, moving over to show pictures. They all started to gather around, looking at the pictures.

"Nice (Y/N)!" Fred cheered. "Honey, maybe you can make something so I can become a superhuman running machine!"

"That's not science Fred." she giggled. Tadashi was still watching through the pictures.

"What distance do you run?" he seemed generally intrigued. "Ummm, I do the 800meters."

"I'm impressed, I'd like to come to one of your races." he stated.

"Yeah me too!" Fred chipped

"Me three!" Honey called.

"I'm in." GoGo spoke.

You'd never really had anyone other than your parents and brother really watch. Most of your other friends were in other sports so they didn't always have the time. The fact that they wanted to come made you happy.

"S-Sure!" Tadashi gave a smile, eyes moving back to a few pictures of you posing with your medals.

~~~

"Are you nervous?" you shook your head at your coach's question. "I'm fine." It was a lie. No matter how many times you competed your nerves would always get the best of you. It sort of helped though, you could put the nervous energy to use in winning the race. Unfortunately your parents couldn't make this particular meet. Your dad had an important doctor's appointment. You weren't sure if Luke could make it either and you felt guilty pulling him from his work just for your race. There would be others.

You lined up when you heard the starter call the other racers. You were on the line, listening to him explain the rules when you heard yelling from the crowd.

"YEAH (Y/N)!" your head whipped at the sound of your brother. You were even more shocked when you saw the entire gang there. Tadashi, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Fred, GoGo and another smaller boy you didn't quite recognize. They were all there, standing up and yelling for you. Your eyes welled up. You wiped it quickly, going to the mark when the starter instructed. You took a deep breath, trying to stay focused on the task. The shot went off and you pushed out, screams and cheers coming from all the people in the stands. You panted, staying with the girls as best you could for the first lap.

"Come on (Y/N) you got this!!" You could hear Tadashi's yells of encouragement. All of them were just shouting, maybe that's what gave you the strength to get past all the girls. One by one you picked them off. By the time you were circling around for the last hundred meters you used all the power you could, speeding across the finish line. When you finished you leaned over on your knees, smiling at the time displayed on the board. You were satisfied. It was a new personal best.

"HELL YEAH THAT'S MY LITTLE SISTER!!!"

~~~

When you got out of the changing room the crew was waiting for you. Luke pulled you into a hug laughing as he lifted you into the air. "That was amazing! I know you'd win you always do!" you grinned when he placed you back on your feet. The rest of them swarming around with congratulations. "That was awesome (Y/N)." at Tadashi's compliment you smiled.

"T-Thanks." the boy you didn't know came into view. "You're really fast!" He gleamed. You nodded bashfully. "Y-Yeah I guess."

"(Y/N), this knucklehead over here is my little brother Hiro. He was so reluctant to come but when you started running I couldn't get him to sit down." you laughed when Tadashi pulled him into a headlock. "Quit it!!" Hiro grumbled. Their little banter was adorable.

"Thank you for coming to watch me perform Hiro." you smiled brightly and Hiro's cheeks turned red. "Y-Yeah whatever." you giggled. When he finally got free off Tadashi's hold he grabbed his hat and ran off. "Catch me if you can!" ha taunted. Before Tadashi could go after him Fred ran off. "I got him, I'll use the training I got from observing (Y/N)'s race." he did a weird pose, before he took off running. Tadashi face palmed. Pretty soon the rest of them started going off after Hiro and Fred. You and Tadashi walked slowly behind.

"I hope I don't look that awkward when I run." you joked. Tadashi shook his head, running a hand through his hair. You'd never really seen him much with his hat off. He looked cute, you wondered why he even wore the hat. It blocked out most of his features. He must have felt you staring cause he looked over and you averted your gaze hurriedly. Tadashi smiled, pretending not to notice. "Were you nervous?" You were thankful he asked a question.

"Yeah a little, I always am. I don't think I'll ever get used to it."

"Well, you looked like a pro out there. If you make it big don't forget your number one supporter."

"I don't think anyone could forget you Tadashi." it just slipped from your lips. But the simple statement made him stop. He gazed at you, and you froze, caught in the intensity of his brown eyes. "Is that right.." he muttered.

"Yeah.." you whispered.

"(Y/N)! Ice cream on me!" Luke's scream broke your short moment. You laughed nervously, stepping away from Tadashi and running over to Luke. "Strawberry please!" Tadashi just let you leave, eyes following as you went.
