So I'm in the process of getting my balls back ( Read more... )

Back in 4th grade, my mom asked me if I was anyone's "special valentine".

I can't remember anything about any V-Day since then.

Tick-tock. The Reggie Lewis Center in Boston Massachusetts hummed in anticipation as the announcer introduced the last event of the 2006 Indoor State Track and Field Championships. The 4 by 400 meter relay has remained the premier closing event at all major championships due to the intensity of the race, the camaraderie engendered by team struggle ( Read more... )

So yea, I may not be on the A team 4 by 4. I haven't quite distanced myself from the more established runners so they definately deserve the benefit of the doubt over me, until i prove that i can perform at the highest level. I have to run so fast that it would be foolish not to have me on the A relay team, not at a level where I am interchangeable ( Read more... )

In the 7 minutes i have before class.. I got DQed from the open 500 for unknown reasons against Dartmouth and Columbia. I was in last place with a lap to go and came back and edged the other guys, for allegedly the 10th fastest time in Yale history. However, I have no official time due to the DQ.

This is my last day of 'track heaven' as it has been so aptly put. We had our first hard speed endurance workout, and it was my first one in a month. So naturally, it was rough. In the meet, I was able to muscle out 1 race. We only had 4 intervals today, but I was down for the count after three, vomiting like a champ for 10 minutes after the 3rd ( Read more... )

It was awesome to get back on the track. I haden't raced since the high school state meet in June- the day I had no regrets, ran significantly faster than I'd ever ran before, and lost anyway. It wasn't the magical ending to a high school career like the indoor state and new england meets, but it was a 3rd and 2nd with a Central Mass all-time ( Read more... )
