Track and Field Blogs - Natasha Bonina

Being in shape makes the most impossible situations seem simpler. Or, at least less painful. This week is fitness week, but I didn't find out until I was standing on the track for gym class and being told so. Apparently we were running the mile today. Well, someone forgot to mention this earlier, because I showed up in the clothes I was wearing to school. In project adventure, you can do that. Changing is sort of optional, and I was too lazy to do so. So there I stood, looking at Mr. Reynolds in disbelief and realizing that I was far from prepared for running. A long sleeve shirt, dark denim jeans, my loose pair of shoes and no hair tie. Great. Just great. Luckily for me, I had cross country training on my side. So I finished in first over all anyways. I won't say I'm proud of my 6:40 mile, but you have to admit that its not bad for someone running in the clothing I had.
