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, [...]

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 [...]

This. Is. Running!

I’ll start off by “Yeah Okaying” myself for the title – I’ll explain it later. Today was a shorter run distance wise but still 42 minutes along the river. I went with Silvia today and although it wasn’t a very challenging run, it was nice to run at a leisurely pace and give myself a [...]

I’m Back.

It’s definitely been a while, but today I went on the first run that was worthy of a post in a long time. It’s not that I fell out of love with running, my body and mind were desperately in need of a rest after a long track season. Getting back into it was hard, [...]

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? [...]

Z’s or A’s

I haven’t posted anything in over a month, and ironically enough this first post will have very little to do with running, on the exterior at least. Yesterday I was challenged with a conundrum at 10:30 pm, sleep or AP Gov homework? Now I know you’re all going to think the typical Lynbrook student would stay up [...]

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 [...]
