I've had the best morning of my life. Seriously, I know it may not mean that much to the other people here because I'm a baby in this fandom, but I'm so utterly excited I can't help but share. This morning was sectionals for cross country. And our team has worked so incredibly hard this year. Our HS isn't exactly known for its sports, and our CC team hasn't gone to state since 1992. We get crap for not being as good as our rival school and all of us wanted to prove them wrong. So going this morning on this bus, everyone was shaking with nerves and fear. It could have been my last meet, and I was terrified.
But we're going. We're going to state. This is so unbelievably surreal. Like... I'm going to be on the team that goes to state. I’m going to run at state. I just… we’ve all dreamt about this for so long and I’m just… I can’t grasp it yet. But I’m so unbelievably excited. This week is going to be a huge hustle and bustle, but I’m so ecstatic. I can’t remember a time I’ve been this happy. I just… damn it’s a good day.
And because we're going to state cross country, I need to post a picture of Steve Prefontaine because he is a running god.
