I really don't know what I'm doing over the summer. Track season ended for me yesterday. This is the first time since August where I'm not participating in any sport. I know I'm going to run and play a ton of basketball....... but that still leaves me with a lot of free time. I feel lost, maybe I should make some goals for the summer.... idk. :?

nice 800, show varsity how its done :

Have fun. Ran my 800m in sectionals today. I followed my plan and tried to stay up with the leaders, I ended up staying with the first 3 runners till the start of the 2nd lap where I just died out... I then got beat by two other guys in the last 100m so I ended up 6th with a PR of 2:30.9, up two seconds from my previous one ( 2:33). Hey, at least I tried my best and I now know that there is no way I could have gotten in the top two and qualified for state.

BEAST :thumbsup:

There are state meets for middle schools... :? :? My middle school decided not to compete? Meh. There are several kids at my old middle school running under the time you said but aren't going anywhere. Weird. It is, the state meet this year is May 22-23, Friday-Saturday.

The noobs remind me of the anchovies from spongebob... edit: thanks zierro Hey! I"m Lithuanian. Tau spirsu i sikna :

well to make it to state you need 2:01-1:57.5 ( depends what class your in). You will probably be able to break that sophomore/junior year easy

yeah, what can you run now? What grade are you in?

its all about controlling your thoughts. if you run the first lap at your pace and then run the second lap like an all-out 400 you should be able to get a great time. competition is the most important thing. Yeah, but I don't just want a great time. I want to push myself to the absolute limit and see if i can qualify. If I do what you say I will get about a 2:25. if i was in your position, i would bomb it. hell, what have you got to lose? i would make sure, however that i had a protein bar and gatorade pre-race and had pasta/pizza the night before. in a related note: i found recently that i can get into my "zone" by simply vizualizing a fictional or actual race. getting your heart beating at the starting line can really help. it's kind of weird. today in latin i just started thinking about a 400 i won by .2 or something. i re-created the whole race.. my heart started beating and it was a new form of entertainment. yippie. I'm eating a bunch of spaghetti the night before :

2:15 is state qualifying?!? What state do you live in? I could've placed in that.. Illinois...

I got sectionals on Saturday ( same as districts in High school, except I'm in 8th grade). I'm running the 800m, state qualifying time is 2:15 (or top 2) and my PR is only 2:33. I figured the only relative chance I have of making state is to go way above my 800m pace , try to keep up with the kids in front, and see how long I can last without throwing up/collapsing \ I'm gonna try to push myself to the absolute limit. Seriously, I'm gonna try to make myself believe that a tiger is running after me or something :-#

If the family of a victim is given a bit of a choice on what they want to do with the prisoner, then it might be revenge. But it would Justice as well. Yeah because families of victims have a fair and impartial opinion in this circumstance :roll: (smilie used to ensure that sarcasm is detected). Your plan is moronic and barbaric and would drag the legal system back into the dark ages. The legal system is there to remove people who break the law from wider society not to beat them. Your plans would anger people and create greater problems for the future as people are increasingly alienated by them. Good point. Finally, someone gave me a good reason why I'm wrong. Its what I was waiting for all along, Kudos :

Ah, but it is. Slap on some d'hide and pray mage, and you're good against mages. So if I slap on some good armor and pray melee, then I'm good against meleers? Thats his point, you can do that against mage, but not melee.

If he did it to someone else, then it shall be done to him too. Its only fair. "An eye for an eye and the whole world becomes blind". And it isn't justice you're talking about. Its revenge. yes, a little bit of both.

If he did it to someone else, then it shall be done to him too. Its only fair.

It is, thats the point. If it is, then you admit you're degrading yourself to their level idiot. Do you think the person wanted to die? No, but the murder killed them. Do you think the murderer wants to be tortured? No, but hell, lets be as bad as him/her and do it anyway. Thats my point you idiot. The person didn't want to die and the murder killed him, so lets do the same to him. Make him pay for what he did.

It is, thats the point.

Your not sinking down to their level for giving them what they deserve.

Thing is, they haven't been proven to be terrorists. That and the UN's declaration of universal Human Rights [hide=Strong Opinions.]Yup HUMAN RIGHTS. These people, who are PROVED terrorists, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, ARE NOT HUMANS. Physically perhaps, but they are mentally sick and deranged, just like ANIMALS.[/hide] Oh, I forgot the part where the people in Gitmo even had a trial. Maybe that's because they didn't. Retribution doesn't solve anything It doesn't, but it helps to make people who deserve to suffer, suffer. You're no better than those damn people you want to torture. Well maybe I don't think people who murder or rape should have a cake walk in prison.
