Oh, right.
I forgot to mention that my last high school cross country season ended about a week and half ago. Neither of our boys’ teams did very well in the championship, but that makes sense: our really good runners graduated last year. Personally, I think I did well; I got a chance to run in the championship race for the first time, and gave a decent showing, I believe, for my fourth year of running. Anyway, it is over now; I am not a good enough runner to be on a competitive college team, so any running I do will be for the sake of fitness. I don’t have any regrets: running cross country is physically difficult, the simultaneously exhilarating and heartbreaking aspects of a cross country race have become too much for me, and I am glad to be done with those bizarre feelings that surround a cross country race.
