I'm A High Jumper or I Jumped Really High

What's up everyone...This is a very very short blog.  Not even three days ago I competed in a track meet and jumped and cleared 5'10 in the high jump. I haven't touched the high jump since 1998.  I went out there with no practice and jumped 5'10.  Let me find out I can still jump.  At  the meet I saw a few "Hoyas".  James Graham and Ali Najar, both from Northwestern High School/Georgetown University.  They both ran the 800m, they looked good, I hope you guys stick to it. 

There is nothing like a meet where you can run at and just have fun and laugh and joke with your friends.  I had a wonderful time.  I did four events in hopes of doing 6 or 7.  I even tried to jump in the 110 hurdles, but backed off when I saw someone fall flat on the face...Literally flat on their face, I assume their arms weren't working.  I did the following events 100m, 200m, 400m and high jump. 

Just wanted to give a shot out to the following individuals that ran at the meet.

1.  Clifford Wong-I see you stay in the weight room.

2.  Antwon Pugh-So what, you gotta a great start and?

3.  Kenneth Washington-You trying to run 20 point right?

4.  Ali Najar-I see you still got it/so when you gonna retire from your day job and get back to the track?

5. James Graham-How after four years you look exactly the same.  Kenneth said you looked like that in high school.

I saw your 400m, man you looked like you were relaxed as h***. I wish I could run like that. You gotta teach me how to run like that. I want to run 46 like that.

Relax???

Man I appreciate the love, I'm just grinding, still not where I want to be, but I'm getting there. I'm taking one day at a time you feel me? Relaxed....All I thought about while running was 'I hope I finish" that was my first 400m all year, and I was bit nervous at the 200 meter mark. But I'm glad I finished and you enjoyed the show :).
