WELCOME
Hello and Thank you to anyone who is taking time out of their day to read my blog. I am so excited to share a part of my life with you and I hope along the way you will gain something from this experience as well.
Let me start by saying in 2012 I will be in London competing for my country in the Olympic Games--well, at least that's my plan. It's gonig to take a lot of hard work to get there, but I plan to give everything I have to achieve my goal.
Presently, I'm entering my senior season as a collegiate shot putter/discus thrower. I spent most of last year on the outside looking in; this year I'm going to be the main attraction. By the end of this season I will be an NCAA champion.
I think I got a little comfortable last year and didn't reach my full potential, which is why I created this blog, so I can be accountable to myself and everyone who supports and encourages me. I will be blogging about my last year as a NCAA thrower and my journey to the 2012 Olympic Trials.
I titled this blog "Mark" because that's the one word I want to hear when I finish a throw. If I have the best throw of my life, it means nothing if the red flag goes up.
With all that said, let the journey begin!!!
I have been trying to get this blog together for several weeks now. Between computer problems and my busy schedule, I haven't had time to sit down and do it, but now I at least have it set up and can edit it as I go. It may seem like it's a little early to be talking about track season considering I just finished competing last month for the previous season, but this is the time that matters most. Right now, I'm in the weight room training 4 days a week because right now is when it counts. I'm finally giving my body time to rebuild from the injuries and strains of last season, but staying active so I don't fall behind the competition. Stay tuned as I give you an inside look at my training, personal life and love of all things track and field.
