The Toughest Sport

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sportSkills Four words: Are you fucking serious? #40? Really? Easier than raquetball and squash? Easier than badminton and auto racing? Easier than calf roping?? I recently got into a debate as to which sport is the hardest – ironic that ESPN decided to join in. Sure playing football isn’t the easiest thing in the world, [...]

What Friends Are For.

No matter how much I hurt, how much pain I’m in, and how hard it is for me to smile, there’s a group of people that can always force a laugh or grin out of me. You guys are the best and this whole mess has made me realize just how much you guys care [...]

I Miss It.

Everything about it. I just want to be back in Hawaii, there’s no other way to explain it. I want to wake up in room 866 with my team. I miss having nothing to worry about, I miss living for the moment, I miss it all. Life here sucks, I have to admit it. Having [...]

~~/\~~Hawaii~~/\~~

I don’t really know how to start this post or how to write it for that matter. I never thought I could write down what Hawaii was like in words, and since Varun has currently stolen my Julia/Lum method of remembering trips, my fingers will have to take a stroll down the keyboard and see [...]

This Love.

Has taken it’s toll on my legs, but man was it worth it. Two races, felt great in both. I really hope this will last throughout the season (knocks on wood) I’m bound to have a few bad races and I’ll accept them as they come, forget them, and move on, but for now I [...]

Pulling an All-Nighter

Is a lot of fun. Especially when it involves running, great friends, amazing views, and donuts. It’s been almost three months since my last night run and I’m glad to have finally satisfied my cravings. It started out as a six person run, but by the time we started running it became four, and then [...]

“One Last Time.”

I always knew that I would have to do this one way or another, I tried to delay it as much as possible, putting off the thought, but the time has come. It was 3 years ago that I came to Lynbrook, uncertain of what the High School life would hold in store for me, [...]

I Promise.

Today, after nine minutes and fourty-one seconds on the track, my season came to a close. I am disappointed, there is no question about it, but now I can focus on Cross Country. This will be my last season in LHS XC, and I have a promise to make to my XC Boys. I will do [...]

Medicine.

Medicine is something that cures you when you’re in pain, with today’s doctors, medicine can make almost anything go away. There is one thing though that no matter how many pills you take you will never be able to get over. Simply put, it’s love. You can’t forget a lost love with pills, you can’t [...]

The Long White Line.

What is the long white line? It is the start and finish of Cross Country. That solemn white chalk line, it takes minutes to make to but forever to forget. We take off from it on the first day of practice, those first painful miles after a summer with not enough running, the thrill of [...]
