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 [...]

Throwback: Clean Running Shoes

I realized that I never posted what got me started in writing on here, so since I have a ton of homework and my next friend post will come tomorrow, I’m gonna finally post it up   —————————————————————-   So here I am at 8:50 on the night before my dreaded chemistry honors final, staring [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Shortened Reservoir, Extended Fun

Now that, that was a good run. Maybe it didn’t have the novelty of a storm run, a first night run, or crazy mud run, but this was a good run. The best part about it was that we all worked together, we kept each other in check in the beginning, we pushed each other [...]

Four Years.

They have gone by so quickly, the seasons that felt so long in the beginning always ended just a bit too early. They say too much of anything is a bad thing, but there is something I just can’t get enough of; LHS XC. You have been my family for four wonderful years, all the [...]

This Feeling

I don’t know how to describe it. I’m torn between being nervous and being sad. This might be it, in two ways. This might be the last race I have with the LHS XC team, the team that has been my family for four years. This might be the last time I get to huddle [...]

Four Dots

Signify the end of our last fun run, they signal the end of this season, and they mark the end of four years of LHS XC. But they don’t mark the end of the love I’ve found here at Lynbrook as a Cross Country Boy. These past four years have been truly amazing, every single [...]

Like a Truck

It hit me today. This is it. Today was my last Surf N’ Turf as a part of the LHS XC team, this whole season has been a string of lasts but I’ve been trying to not think about that much. Today while on Prospect, running the red light on Blaney, it all came crashing [...]
