Ran a long run today with the lead boys of the team. Haven't run over 7.5 miles in some time, but I enjoyed the chance to push outward again, it's so easy to stay in the Easy Rut, kickin' it and cruising everyday.
Craig Aguilar really impressed me today ... here's a sophomore, missed all of last summer but joined XC anyway, ran sprints (or was it hurdles?) in track and has now just been coming on with the distance stuff. We ran together for awhile, I probably talked too much, but he closed a 100-meter gap between himself and the leaders from about mile six to the finish. Good stuff.
Our sophomore class is a fun group -- young, eager, room to grow, and off to a great start. It's gonna be fun to watch what comes of this group. If this group -- of both boys and girls -- sticks with it for another couple of years, they could end up being something truly special.
