so yeah... we got 13th in state... I don't think that it's bad at all... this was my first time to ever experience something like this... I also didn't know soo many people run cross country in alabama! it was an amazing time... I had a great time riding with Arlyn and hanging out with the team...

so the season is over... sadly... and indoor is starting up after thanksgiving... these two weeks are gonna be bad... like I miss my team already... here are some running quotes:

I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power.  You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.  ~Jesse Owens

Most people run a race to see who is fastest.  I run a race to see who has the most guts.  ~Steve Prefontaine

You don’t run against a bloody stop watch, do you hear?  A runner runs against himself, against the best that's in him.  Not against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys.  That's the way to be great, running against yourself.  Against all the rotten mess in the world.  Against God, if you’re good enough.  ~Bill Persons

Blink and you miss a sprint.  The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of waiting.  Theatrically, the mile is just the right length - beginning, middle, end: a story unfolding.  ~Sebastian Coe

There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life.  But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint.  So, too, are you.  Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.  ~George Sheehan

Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring.  ~Jimmy Carter

Runners just do it - they run for the finish line even if someone else has reached it first.  ~Author Unknown
