For those of you who don't run Track, a PR is a personal record, it tells you your times, your events and how long you've been running.
Blocks are something you use to push off of to get a better start/leap before you take off running.
Spikes are shoes Track runners use to get an advantage, it's like running with needles underneath your feet to run on your tippy toes (I MISS TRACK 😢) Lol enjoy

POV:Ever since Friday, I've been ignoring Kyah and spending more time and attention on Kavari.
We were on Thanksgiving break for a week. It bought me more time but at what cost?I haven't responded to her texts or her calls, and if I did, I was dryer than the desert.
Although we were on break, I still had practice and meets. I was tired physically all the time. I could tell Kavari was as well. He still had basketball practice, but not as often as I did. We rarely see each other but it doesn't bother us.
Ever since we had that talk, things have been better. We agreed to never stay silent and to just simply communicate.
I was currently at a Track meet stretching on the football field. I've been here for hours, they always do long distance and field events first.
I don't see why I came before the sun was up.
I have shin splints and need to ice immediately.
"Jay! First call for the hundred." Coach Clay shouts. I give him a thumbs up feeling my nerves rise.I lace up my spikes heading to check in for my bib and heat number.

"I'm sure you all know the rules gentlemen. Stay in your lane, if you stutter step or fault start you will get point reductions. We'll start in a couple of minutes."The starter says. She gives us one last look before walking on the turf to write something on her clipboard.
I set up my blocks with sweaty hands.
I need to throw up.
I look up to the stands seeing Kavari and my mom sitting patiently.
I let out a shaky sigh.
"Runners to your mark!"
I thought she was giving us a couple of minutes..?
I settle into my blocks getting comfortable.
"On your mark!"
You got it Jay.
"Get set!"
Just PR, just PR, just PR-
Pop!
