My brother has been running for years and was pretty good. In my school, the runners were cool. Of course the runners were also on the basketball team and in band and etc. I graduated with a class of 14. And that was a big class.<BR/><BR/>So, I wanted to be a runner too. I begged and begged my mom, but she said I had to wait until I was older. One day we went to one of my brother's races, and again I begged her to let me run. I suppose she figured it couldn't hurt and maybe I wouldn't do so well and wouldn't want to run. I was wearing jeans and high tops. Mmm, high tops, those were the days. <BR/><BR/>Well, I beat all of the girls on my team and even some of the boys. That was lovely. With the pressure of the coach after that, she finally relented. I loved cross country for many years. Until it was more pain than fun. I know I need to get back into it. Maybe this summer? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, and I'm very happy for your armpits... ;)annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231090822236702702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1149125165684090432006-05-31T21:26:00.000-04:002006-05-31T21:26:00.000-04:00I would like to hear your running story in jeans, ...I would like to hear your running story in jeans, I've never heard it before.<BR/><BR/>You inspired me to go running tonight. It was beautiful, cool, and something I owned as my personal time to reflect.<BR/><BR/>My lungs actually kicked into the point of working for me in a rythm. I hope you're encouraged by the effect your story had on me, to rekindle your love relationship with running soon.<BR/><BR/>And guess what, both of my armpits were sweaty!

I could never make it through the 'fitness runs' and always ended up with a bad mark and even worse self esteem. But now, oh sweet joy! I actually enjoy it. I'm still not good, mind you, but I don't really care about that. It's more the fact that I don't feel like I'm gonig to DIE after about 5 seconds! It takes more like 10 seconds now! ;)<BR/><BR/>(lol, you think I'm kidding... I could NEVER do a marathon - or even a half. Those people are just crazy!)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the day on Saturday. Don't feel bad - you've got to do what you enjoy, right?Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396356143176333785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1147464736216999112006-05-12T16:12:00.000-04:002006-05-12T16:12:00.000-04:00Ya- you were a good cross country runner.

I actually was going to do it senior year but there was no cross country that year for some weird reason that I do not recall. So ,alas, I did not get to beat you there also :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1147459045084927012006-05-12T14:37:00.000-04:002006-05-12T14:37:00.000-04:00I think you can get back into it!Baby steps :)I think you can get back into it!<BR/><BR/>Baby steps :)Carbonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604856702298531249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1147457249434027452006-05-12T14:07:00.000-04:002006-05-12T14:07:00.000-04:00I could...but I doubt the runners want coffee... ;...I could...but I doubt the runners want coffee... ; )annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231090822236702702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1147456846421658922006-05-12T14:00:00.001-04:002006-05-12T14:00:00.001-04:00Right Shawn...remember how you didn't run cross-co...Right Shawn...remember how you didn't run cross-country?

Remember running together all the time in track? I was one boy you didn't beat ;) I feel soo old and slow though now. Tomorrow my branch is participating in a 5k race for inner city youth programs. That's only a tad over 3 miles. Should be easy to run, right?? But noooo... I am going to walk it.
