Ahhhh!
Sorry, this is usually the part in my nightmare when I wake up, screaming. But real life- I was so lonely for running buddies I went to my old high school last week.
I hated this place! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated!!!!!!! For years I used to avoid running by it. When we drove by in the car I'd boo. The only thing I did like was xc and track.
We were horrible when I went there. We had 5-6 girls. Well now they have about 40 guys and girls, or maybe more. They have so many you don't learn everyone's name and no one really notices if there is a new person or not. Well- except for a couple guys- one who asked if I was new, and the other, who after I said I was an alumni, looked baffled and said "well I'm a senior and I don't remember you!" Aww you guys, you're too kind!
The first day I went they were doing a workout. They have a very good girls team now and I ran with their varsity girls and since I haven't run faster than 7 minute mile pace since like April they just about killed me even though we only did 2x 1200-800-400-400 and the times were slower than my 10k pace.
The next time we ran about 8 miles with a couple stretching breaks that last about five to ten minutes. Hmm, I should run with these people more often. The coach was talking about Galen Rupp being 22-23 and I made the mistake of saying, "no he's my age, he's 26." I mean, I'm not that old, I don't know why I just said that! I'm 21! I don't know why I did have to say that, I mean I was a little jealous and thought it a little unfair that Galen Rupp got to be 22 even though he is like a whole month older than me, but I got to be 22 too! Who there would think I was over 22? They can't even imagine ages beyond 22!
Yeah I don't know if I can do this. The way the girls looked at me when I admitted when I graduated, the realization that some of these girls were kindergarteners then. They could have been the little 5 and 6 year olds I used to assistant coach at Gliders track practice when I was 17.
At least I'm remembering now that I don't actually want to be in high school. Even if you get to be 14-18 it's just not worth it. Although I wouldn't mind running the 5k in high school now.
