I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I saw this movie Saint Ralph last night, and it was pretty good. It's about some kid in Catholic school that breaks pretty much all the rules, and as a result, is forced to run corss country.
Long story short, his mom goes into a coma, he trains to win the Boston Marathon (since that would be a miracle, and a miracle could sure his mom), and almost wins. Good movie.
So what else is going on in my life? I guess not as much, seeing as my LJ updates are infrequent as hell.
Cross country had TWO time trials this week. Monday was hellish and I WON with a 22:49. That's my worst 5k time since freshman year. I ran a better 5k after the swim and bike in the triathlon a year ago. But yesterday was much better. Yes, I was all alone out front. Yes, it was muddy as hell. But I won again, with a 19:42 this time. Maybe if the ground had been solid and I woulda had some competition... I would been close to a P.R.
So. I've been busy getting my early decision thing for UF done. All I need to do now is get Haughey's revision of my essay back, and send it off. A transcript too. Taylor says I'll get in, but... I don't know. I'm sending a bunch of reccomnedations in to be sure.
The worst part about this year so far is the fact that I met a girl, a freshman nonetheless, with better taste in music (except MAYBE Collin) and movies than any of my friends. And I've got less than a year down here left before I leave to go wherever the hell it is I'm going.
Coach Mooney doesn't like her. Or rather he doesn't like the idea of her. He thinks she'll be a distraction to me this year, much the same way as Danielle was a distraction to me last year. I don't know though. I doubt it.
Well, I guess that's about all I have to say for now. I need to take some pictures, cos all mine are old as hell now. So look for em on Wednesday or so.
Peace and love.
