Fortified with Optimism

kimburly:

I don’t miss this feeling but I miss right after this, when the runner’s high sets in and you feel like you can dominate anything

Even though I was in XC and Track for 2 out of my four years in High School, I feel like it is still very important to me. I love the feeling of being a part of a team. You could be the slowest person on MMHS XC and Track and still be treated as well and important as the fastest. I absolutely hated running in a race. I would wish for a miracle during every warmup before a race to not run. But the feeling of running the last few strides and finally crossing the finish line has to be the best high one could feel. I could come up with a million reasons not to race during a meet, but that one moment at the end of the race when you hear a “good job” no matter what place you are dominates whatever feelings you had before. Ahhh good times :)
