Since the summer before my 9th grade year I've been calculating the miles I've run between June 1st and August 31. These are called summer miles for Cross country. Yesterday, Saturday Augsust 20th... I reached the historic barrier that seperates the legends of Altoona cross country from the not-so legends of Altoona Cross Country. Joining the elites like AJ Kelly and I'm assuming Robbie Crossman got it, I ran my 2000th summer mile in my signature fashion, slow.
The run started, I needed 5 miles to break the barrier. It was 95 degrees and my sister went running with me. And the pace was pedestrian. Finally I got the last mile on the Champs Elyeeses. Jogging through the heat, we made it home and mile 2000.
