A down and out day...
3 of the varsity guys. Brad -the red head. Lucas- the guy on the left with bongy? hair. Ben- guy in the middle with the not red and not bongy hair. 3 of the very very important varsity guys who basically determine if our team goes to state. While all 5 guys need to do well in the scoring range, these 3 are a majority and so hold much of the power. Hopefully we will all do well at sectionals.
This picture reminds me of my race yesterday in some ways. I can recall times where I would look down at my own feet and often wonder if I would be able to finish. Or sometimes when my legs felt like lead, and I just felt like I was hardly moving at all. Sooo slow. It's pretty sad though. Yesterday's race was a one I don't ever wish to repeat. I just wish I personally would stop being such an inconsistent runner and finally just act like the number two guy they expect me to be. I wish I would stop collapsing under the pressure of doing good. Of letting my mind win out over my body. Of letting myself get beat mentally before I ever give myself a chance physically. I lost the race yesterday before I even began to run. that's something I am ashamed of.
On one side note though, the JV guys proved to be an exciting race. Noteworthy times were especially Eric Einerson (freshman 19:45 i do believe) and Andrew Jarratt (sophmore 19:47). And for the most part, the guys all PR'd for the last meet, which is fantastic.
It's depressing now though. For the most part all of the seniors are gone. With the exception of Andy I don't expect any of the other seniors to be at practice next week, and that means that yesterday was probably one of the last chances I will ever have to hang out with Aman, Alex, Nygel, Erica, Abby, and Bret. other then track, I won't ever probably see all of you. I'm going to miss you guys, and I want the few of you who can read this to know that you have made a tremendous impact on my life. good luck to you all :)

jeffrey don't let the conference meet bring u down at all! i think there must of been a bad omen or sumthing that day cause alot of us at very different results then normal. and good luck at sectionals!
also sence i know alot of ppl don't read my blog I want 2 add in that with what jeffrey said about the seniors i completly agree, you have all made a huge impact on my life and are all awesome friends, even those that I'm not truely friends with or don't hang out with!
We all will miss the seniors tremedously! Personally, they made my first cc experience wonderful and unforgetable. It will be difficult to come to practice without having them there next year. I hope you all do track, for then we can relive the memories. Thanks again! :)
hmm lets c was that lauren?
That was a very nice statement about the seniors jeff. keep up your good work, all of you!! :-)
Hey--I was still so excited to see you race no matter what! Good luck at sectionals!
Thank you soo much for coming Kara, Opal and Eileen!!
And I do believe that person was Hillary myself, but I won't fuss over it really, either way its true, these seniors rocked for Cross. It sucks they are leaving.
Thanks for everything guys, you make my life so much better. :)
yeah that was my next guess jeffrey. how was practice with so few ppl?
practice was actually really awesome kyle. I don't want to sound really mean or have anybody take this the wrong way... but I actually prefer practices when they are a bit smaller and more of a tight group. In some ways it makes things a bit easier, while its more fun with more people, I feel like I get more running done that way. Although today was hardly a work out. hehe hand golf :)
slacker! lol. i was gonna come 2day but i had 2 go home right away. and i was gonna go 2morrow but i have 2 help with the haunted trail for student council. oh by the way try not 2 run through the woods from here on out. we are starting 2 set the trail up.
Im glad i could make an impact on your life Jeffrey, you are an awesome guy and I know you will turn out to be an awesome runner. Thanks for helping out the team, couldn't have done it without you!
