So I have a little note in one of my folders in my notes app (because my life would not be as together as it is without that app fr) and it is full of questions I have for you and things I want to share with you so I will go through them one by one because I always end up rambling. uhhh soooo wait... b-bro... you help out with marathons too? 🥺 idk I just saw that you mentioned something about that in a post from months ago but hecking superb my friend. There are a lot of races of all sorts around where I live and my coaches are super involved in the community so the xc/track team is always encouraged to help out... some of the races we assist with are tradition now. but a lot of them got cancelled so :(( but we still got to set up our aid station in the fall for this one ultra marathon and that was wicked cool. I’ve never ran a marathon but I think in college, since I won’t be running for the school, I’ll focus more on long distance stuff and maybe even some biathlons and triathlons who knows? I’m looking forward to the freedom of not following a team/coach’s training plan tbh I’ve been running track and field (outdoor) since I was three and cross country since I was 8. and tbh I’m kinda tired of competing. I’ve won my medals and set my records and yadda yadda i think it’s time to take a step back. I still love running ofc but I’m going about it differently. It’s kinda sad for me actually because up until this year I thought I would run in college and back in 8th-9th grade i was on course for a lot of great things but kinda fell apart my sophomore year... idk my times are much slower than before but I think I enjoy it more. My friends and teammates and family like me better like this and I’m like “okay guess I was too much like king of the court stick up his butt kageyama back then” but now I have fallen from grace and so has my pride and losing my “talent” kinda made me regrow my love of running from square one. long story short I kin oikawa that’s all you need to know whoopsies I did indeed ramble. Oh oh oh and to answer your question I like spring track the most. It’s outside, I get to wear my favorite spikes, I love the track (not our school’s tho our school’s track is trash). The indoor tracks’ turns are so tight it’s not great on my knees and hips and the air in the indoor stadium is suffocating. But cross country is growing on me I used to hate it but now it’s kind of like the embodiment of freedom in running. Probably because I haven’t been able to run on a track much in the past year and my runs are just getting longer and longer hence my appreciation for 3 miles/5 kilometers over the shorter distances on the track. hbu?? Ok it’s very late and I need to do never ending AP lit homework (but I’m caught up now so woot woot). Good luck with school and all your scholarships bro I believe in you!
bye I am currently busting an uwu abt your notes pls🤧🤧🥺 and !!! helping at marathons has gotta be one of the best parts of any season, especially during xc there’s this one that we’ll pack the like goodie bags that the runners get with after-race food and everything, and then on the day of the race we get up wicked early and direct traffic in the parking lot. I also love helping at the water stations jkfjkdj idk marathon days are some of my best memories with my team uwuwuu (i’m very sad we didn’t get to do any this year) and I just love seeing all the absolute badasses that like?run that much?? likw wow and bro!! bi/triathlons are metal asf like that’s mad impressive ,. and ! it’s really great to hear that you’re like doing running your own way, and that you’ll enjoy it more. I’ll always love how personal running is, and appreciating your runs no matter the speed is just. the dream (i’m still working on that one a little bit, especially during indoor😻) and ooh spring track is so elite imo😼😼 my favorite race ever is the 4x1 and we have several meets at our track and before practice starts we lay on like the warm turf and hrgrhgh there’s something about an outdoor 200 that just is so satisfying and yeah hfjjfjjd and ofc thank you so much for the ask bro uwuuwu 🥺🥳🥳
