The Title is the Hardest

I hate Harrison.

We had to run eight 200 meter repeats today at practice. I ran five, skipped six, and ran seven and eight. I was pretty spent. Harrison, however, went on to run two or three more. With perfect form. He just looks like he was built for running, so it’s something he’s good at. I have yet to find what I’m good at. It’s not running, that’s for sure.

After practice, Harrison and Tabby (I actually don’t think I’ve mentioned her before) showed up and played some cards. It was rather uneventful though, much like my writing tonight.

Just got done visiting with Kori. I haven’t seen her forever, so I was quite delighted when she showed up. She seemed kind of upset on IM, but seemed okay when she got here. I don’t know… something was definitely bothering her, but whatever it was she didn’t mention in our conversation. It was nice just sitting around and talking for a while. Pretty much the best part of my day.

So I guess I’m going to go up to the SIUE cross-country course tomorrow and run that for a good thirty or forty minutes. It’s going to suck. A lot.

Ah yes, Tabby (or is it Tabi?). Never mentioned her before, I think. I just recently started talking to her, though we’ve done stuff together before, with friends and such. She seems to be a really sweet girl, and is nice to talk to. Kind of reminds me of Kori, but not as relaxed and easy-going. I never get to hang out with Kori though, so maybe I’ll get to see this one more often. I hate never getting to see pretty much the closest friend I have. It’s strange: I’ve known pretty much all of my friends longer than I’ve known Kori, but I still feel like she’s the best friend I have. Just hanging out and talking to her tonight was awesome. Never getting to see her is killer.

As a side note, this song is insanely long.

Have a nice day. Oh, and, sweet dreams Kori.

My Legs Burn Like Fire

Well, we won the first track meet last night. I was scheduled to run in the 4x800 meter relay and the 800 meter run. Unfortunately, the 4x800 “B” team was dropped, so I ended up only having to run the 800.

I didn’t really do squat compared to the real athletes, but I shattered my personal record. My fastest 800 was 3:08, and now it’s 2:45. So, I’m quite satisified, even if nothing I did helped the team.

We won anyway. We had 95 points, and second place was 55, so there was no contest apparently.

I have to get to where I can win some race by the end of the season.
