The first track meet this season
Getting ready for my first track meet of the year, the team was packing their bags to get ready to head up to Pittsburg. I finally finished packing all of my track gear and one of my buddies named Isiah stood in front of me, standing tall at about five foot eleven and weighing about a hundred and seventy five pounds.

I went and talked to my coach, he explained to me that if I don’t stretch then bad things like this can happen. He also stated that the pain in my leg is just a slight pull of the hamstring and it will heal in a couple of days and that I have nothing to worry about, but I can’t run the rest of my event’s.
