Blue Train

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of a better 5k time. Is that a bad substitution? Being the only underclassmen competing for the regional/state varsity cross-country team I find myself unpleased with some aspect of each race. “I didn’t P.R.” or “Man, I beat him last week”.

The Blue Train is so tight and fast that we have eight guys under 18 minutes and 10 guys competing for seven varsity spots. Four of these spots have been lost to the regional organization committee, they are already decided and therefore immune from the elimination prospect. This is tough for me, because I can beat two of them, but maybe not some of the non-immune ones.

I guess I’ll just have to see what happens this district race, and hope/try/do/yay-running my best.

For those of you not currently participating in a FMHS running team the blue train consists of seven cabooses(runners) in blue uniforms, periodically they are together, but sometimes there is a “run away caboose”

What's up, my dudes?
