Re: hey i just remembered why i stopped running track
I use to be in track. My dad was the coach and I said I'd go out if I never had to run a race. Worked out for the most part. I long jumped, high jumped, pole vaulted, shot putted, and threw the disc. I was actually pretty good and always placed. I did end up running race because we needed the extra points to win the meet. I almost died :-( Well afterwards anyways. To me it's retarded they try and make a track a team thing. The only time it's a team thing is if it's a relay. Screw team points.
Re: hey i just remembered why i stopped running track
That's dumb as hell. That's why it's a great team sport. Everyone's important even laggy-ass bums like you NASH LOL
I ran track in the spring and winter but cross country was my favorite. It was awful at first, getting in shape and all that, but once I was able to run 3, 4 miles without stopping - holy ****, did that feel great. Y'know, being in the best shape of my life and all. I regained some of that endurance over this past summer but there's no way I'm gonna be in peak physical shape like I was then. Unless I turn into CHRISTIAN BALE OR SOMEONE LOL
I wasn't the best or the worst runner of the team, perhaps ranking 7th or 8th. We had an amazing team with great athletes so I could've been the best runner if I went to any other school. Soccer players, football players, tennis players. Some really good people joined up. I was perfectly content being on the second tier. That's the great thing about running on a team - if some of the upper tier guys fall out, and they often did, it was up to everyone else to bring up the slack.
Track, however, was annoying because the coaches were your typical muscleheaded closet gays and since it was more open and less demanding as a whole than cross country any slob could join. Some of the worst personalities came out of the woodworks and made pratice a genuinely unpleasant time. Instead of putting up with Dickhead Mc****wad who saw it fit to throw rocks at girls, me and some CC pals would just go out to run, find a clear field and play frisbee instead. Fun times.
Or we'd go to a supermarket and eat cake icing. :3
Yeah, all that running was fun but after junior year I realized I could be doing more - or LESS - and just be lazy after school instead. So I ran cross country senior year for the last time, pulled in some great times and called it quits for winter and spring track to the chagrin of the coaches.
But by that time I was bangin' hos and drinkin' forties so what did I care YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
