True Friends

This is it, a brand new year. You are probably all expecting a post about my running goals or something like that, but not just yet. Running has been great but right now there is something of greater importance (yes, I said it); friends. I have the best friends in the entire universe. It’s as [...]

A Simple Question

I always talk about why I run. Why do you run?

6 Runners.

They all ran the same hills, the same workouts, the same races. And yet each and everyone of them took something different from it. “Three words : Training for Hawaii.” It’s about forgetting the past, it’s about throwing away all the expectations and fears. It’s about getting out there and putting everything you have into [...]

Slowskiy

Gene Gene Gene… Funny how our lives parallel each other’s so frequently huh? I really don’t know how to fully describe our friendship because that’s just what it is; indescribable. If you really sit and think about it’s rather hilarious how similar our lives are; I’ll refrain from writing about all our similarities but I’m [...]

Kuo

Today’s post was supposed to be for Gene, but after Kuo’s beast of a race yesterday…sorry Gene, you’ll have to wait till tomorrow Kuo. You are perhaps the most complex person I know; at times the hardest of workers and at times the laziest person I’ve ever seen – but the great thing about it [...]

DiBiase

What can I say about you DiBiase? We have been through a lot together, highs and lows but if you think about it, we’ve been friends since 2nd grade..we’ve known each other for 11 years of our lives and have done millions of things together. It started out with playing on the playground together, to [...]

Speedy Curry

Amrit. Where the hell do I begin? (I’ve typed out a sentence 4 times and deleted it, I really don’t know where to start) I guess the starting point of what would turn out to be a great friendship is 8th grade; Cross Country and 2nd period Journalism. Who knew we’d turn out to be [...]

There’s Something About Kuo

I could write about Arcadia, about how poorly I ran in my race or I could write about the rain run we had on Monday or our attempt at Black Mountain on Wednesday… but those really aren’t worthy of a post. Arcadia was just a meet, Monday wasn’t sloshed through the hills, and even though [...]

Fording + Run = Fun

It took me a while to go to a run that really made me want to write, but this was it. It wasn’t the hardest run in the world, nor was it the most scenic run in the world, and we’ve done the trail a million times before, so what was so special about it? [...]

If you want to walk, join a walking team.

Hank, Jake, and Gary Gottelman. Who would’ve thought that the owner of Ryan’s Sport Shop would give advice comparable to that of Hank and Jake? It must be something about all runners, coaches or not, when you put your body and mind through hours and miles of pain and agony, you know what you’re talking [...]
