Sore from 11 miles straight runnning
Basically, yesterday rocked. My dad woke me up at 5:30 AM and was all, James you gotta go running with Sean at 6. Im all, how far? He said, 11 miles. I was all IM DEAD. Well, I changed into my clothes, and made it over to his house. We stretched for a little bit, and then we started off, each with our waterbottles. For the first 3 miles, I was doing pretty well because that is the distance im used to. All along the way, Sean and I had great conversations and spreading cheer for all. But then around mile 5ish, there was a giant hill that was a killer. It started around Jack Trice Stadium, and then finished by the Towers' fields. I about died. But then, I ate some energy paste (it tasted similar to chocolate/peanut butter, but not quite). So that added some psychological boost there. Well, once I beat that hill into the dirt with my running shoes, around E-Wang's house, I started to feel pretty good because that was about the halfway point. That meant I was almost done, hehehehe. Hmmm, well I finished without dying or passing out or stopping or throwing up. Also, we ran the last mile pretty fast, maybe a 7:30 pace. It was surprisingly difficult. Then we tried to finish it off with a sprint, I made it at a medium sprint. But that is my 11 mile story. The fun thing is that i get to do it again next saturday. Furthermore, my parents and IAIN WILSON had no faith in me. They all thought that I couldn't do it. Hahahaha, I didn't think i could do it. But running with Sean was the only reason i did it. There is no way I coulda done that without him.
Later on, we played some great Ultimate at the AMS soccerfield. Basically, it was Xin Chuck Jarrett Iain MICHAEL LU and I getting owned by the other team. To make things worse, Michael Lu switched to the other team to give them all 3 college peeps (Misra, Lu, and other guy). On top of that we were short people, meaning we had less on our team than the other team did. Somehow we rallied kept even until the end. It was largely the work of Chuck and Xin and Iain (chuck has big hands). Then, the final point came. The one to decide the match. It was going on a pretty long time because both teams always gave a turnover, forced or stupid mistake. Then Michael Lu had it and fastballed it to John Misra. He was ahead of me, and give a nice, easy toss to Jason to WIN IT because he was in the endzone. But im all "NO WAY!!!" and sprinted my booty off, and dove to knock it out of the air. I flew over Jason because he was diving once he saw me going for it. So I landed and rolled in the mud and pride of a stopping a close call. Then i dished the frisbee to Xin, and he and Nav and Jarrett made it to the other endzone to score for the WIN!!! That was beautiful.
