Running at Vanderbilt...

So we got out of the vans and it was EXTREMEly windy. (We also passed a white castle on the way). Anyway, it was much windier than anyone had anticipated. And there were these huge mutated grains of pollen flying into everyone's eyes. For the first 30 minutes it just hurt and hurt. I even wore my sunglasses after dark. But the wind died down a little. And the races got underway.

I ran faster than I've run in 5 years. I ran 5000m in 15:35. It was most likely my last race as a UAH charger...and I went into it with that intention if I don't get to go to Clemson. There are a few regrets I have about my career as a competitive runner. State Championship debacles...etc...not running as fast as I did in high school in college...until my last race. But I am satisfied that I gave everything I had last night and left it on the track. James Guthrie was there yelling at me the whole time...and it made a difference.

Sidenotes:
1. 66 second last lap.
2. driving the van back was strange.
3. 15:35...
4. Sully told me I could do it.
5. Everything has gone my way the past couple of days...just another few things and it'd be a perfect world.
6. I'm so sore...it even hurt to go to the bathroom.
7. Pruitts are watching "Lean On Me."
8. Open Mic offerings...too bad I'm not really a singer or a rapper. The things that happen when you stumble into a tiny music shop.
9. I just want to move out....I just want to get away.

EDUCATION is wasted on you. You cannot learn. You are lost.
