My school's track team flattened the other school in our first league meet. I myself got 3 points for our team by placing second in the 2 mile, with an almost-PR of 11:03. I also somehow ran a 58 second 400m as the anchor for the hotdog 4x400 team immediately afterward, so that was pretty neat. Not something I'd ever consider doing again, though. 3200 meters is hard. 3200 followed by a faster 400 is just stupid and is not recommended by yours truly.
On the other hand, while I was waiting for the two mile (it's near the end of the meet schedule) some friends and I became so horrendously bored that we started playing truth or dare. It eventually devolved to the point where I was dared to do something quite silly. You see, a friend of mine (we'll call him Albert) has been wanting to ask a girl he likes to 'Prom', which for those of you who don't know is a pseudo-important fancy dance that Juniors and Seniors go to in high school. Albert has been trying to think of creative ways to ask her, but in doing so he's avoided the advice that other friends (both men and women) have given him: just ask her. The silly thing, however, is what he dared me to do. He dared me to 'just ask' a girl to Prom, though I hadn't planned on going. The girl in question was one that many have described as one of the more popular and attractive people that go to the high school, and had so far turned down many people. I didn't really know her, but I figured it'd be worth a shot, at least to prove my point. Showing no fear (as I am wont to do as of late) I approached her and 'just asked'. I am now going to the dance with her, and I finally convinced my friend 'Albert' to stop panicking and do the same. It worked out for him.
In sum: I'm doing something that I'm ambivalent about (don't get me wrong, I'm glad she said yes), but I got to help out a friend. That was pretty fun.
