It was a beautiful day outside- sunny, warm with a slight breeze and not too humid. Kaci sat at the corner of the track in the grass near the gate, tying her old worn-out running shoes. She reached into her bag nearby and pulled out her water and took a little sip. As she put it back, she shoved her socks in as well and grabbed her watch.
She got up and took a few warm up jumps then jogged once around for a warmup. She stretched for a few minutes and then took a starting spot on the 100m start line.
As she got her watch ready for take off, she thought of how much easier it would be if someone were here to start and time her. But since no one was there, she took her starting position, started her watch and immediatley sprinted once around and stopped her watch. She looked down- 52.23. Not her best but she was still warming up. She walked to the 50m mark and back with her hands on her head and got ready for her second lap.

As she took a deep breath to get her heart rate down, her watch beeped her minute rest warning. With another press of her button, she was off around the track again. This is what makes my world go round, she thought, going around and around this track was my life. Which depressed her when she thought about it more because even if she was any good at this, there were two things wrong- 1) She was 8947238964578 times better at soccer and no one here plays soccer and 2) There is no track team here so even if she could get her 400 to below 50.00 there would be no meets to get her name out with. She ran into the finish line and quickly pressed her watch again. 52.12. Good. It was faster. But she still wished there was at least somone watching in the stands, it was lonely here, running laps.

Carmen was walking around the gym, as of right now she had nothing better to do. She watched a girl who looked slightly younger then her, time herself. WOndering if the girl needed help, she walked over to her. "Hey I am Carmen. Do you need any help?" she asked.

Kaci was trying to catch her breath with her hands on her head when a girl she kinda sorta recognized from around school asked her if she needed any help. Kaci tried to take a deep breath to talk to this girl, and almost succeeded but started anyway, "Do you want to time for me? I only have like, 6 left."

"Sure why not." she said. "So first you gotta tell me how to time or else we will be here all night." said Carmen.

Kaci laughed a little. "Ok, so when I start running, you press that button," she said, pointing to the button on the top right, "Then, when I cross this line, just press it again! It's as simple as... Pie?" She said, forgetting how the saying went. "You ready?"

Carmen just nodded her head. "Okay I got it. Now you get on that marker thingy and get ready." she said. She waited for Kaci to get ready.

"Alrighty," She placed her left foot on the starting line, "Ready, set," She took a deep breath before she went, "GO!" She took off, hoping that Carmen got the watch.

Carmen hit the button as soon as Kaci yelled 'Go'. She watched as she ran, waiting for her to hit the line that told her to push the button to stop the watch. Her eyes kept going from the watch to Kaci.
OOC: wrong account..

Kaci hit the last 100 and remembered that she didn't have to stop her own watch, so instead of getting her hand ready to press the button, she kept them going. She ran all the way through the end and took a few meters to slow down. With her hands on her head, she walked back to Carmen with the watch.

Carmen stared at the watch in disbelife. she liked to run, but never did she have this time. "Wow! You are good. I've never ran that fast." said Carmen. "Good job!" she said, holding the watch out for Kaci to see.
OOC: couldn't think of anything..hehe..sorry...crap add..

Kaci smiled as Carmen held the watch for her to see. It read 51.9- today's best. "Thanks" she said as she paced with her hands on her head. She never usually had to run in this kind of heat- it was never this hot in Minnesota. She felt her stomach lurch but decided to try and get through at least one more. She lined up again. "Ready?"
ooc: it was a looooong day =p

"Yep!" She carefully lined her toe up on the line and took off again.

"Okay, ready, set. Are you sure you are ready?" Carmen asked. "Kidding, I know you are ready. Okay go!" she said, pushing the button.
