To End the Season

Seeing as vacation has begun in earnest and I now take my 1 week respite from running, it's definitely an appropriate time to speak.

First and foremost, I will miss everyone with whom this was my last chance to run. This means (potentially) Chris Lu, Danny, Coach Kelley, and all those other people who I will not see in outdoor. Fortunately I will be running with some of them before graduation and college. I think this season, although somewhat unspectacular from the sub-5minute standpoint (or even varsity points--I got less than last year), was definitely a fun one. Snow days did end up interfering with part of it. Nonetheless, I did get to race at BSC for the first time (even though I was supposed to be in it both seasons last year) and I definitely felt a little bit stronger and faster than last year. I met a lot of my goals: 25ish in the 200, 57ish in the 400, sub 3 (2:58.16!) in the 1000, and a 3:39 in the 1200m. Though the mile goal still eludes me, I still have one more season. Recharge and drive ahead!

This week break will probably be dedicated to resting and homework--a bit IRP sound and the fury paper to do by Monday. It's snowing right now too--I didn't think it would before spring. Kind of a calming sight. It's sad that there's only 1 season left. Bittersweet. But to be honest, the season never ends. Running lasts forever.

Final Punch Buggy Status: 15-17. You win Chris Lu. =)
