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, [...]

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 [...]

Something To Think About.

While I get ready to type up my next post. The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a mans determination” What does this mean to you?

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last One Doesn’t Count

I really didn’t have much to write about today until the 9th interval. The team ready to start the ninth one, the “last one”, the one before the one that doesn’t count. As we walk to the starting line I overhear a conversation between Amrit and Kuo; Kuo: I’m going to go easy on this [...]
