Week-15 Monday… 6 days to go baby.
7 miles easy today. My ankle got a bit sore, and I’m thinking a full week off after the season would be best to recover from all the nicks and scrapes i’ve accumulated over this tough season.

Week-15 Tuesday
I love thanksgiving break, i only had to go to school for a short period of time today, and I’ve got the rest of the week off. I’ve been devoting a larger portion than I should be to World of Warcraft, but Hah! I don’t care. States in a couple days and I’m gonnab e ready to rock and roll.
Oh yeah, we did 2x1000 2x800 4x200… I’m gawdawful scared because during this workout the cramp I had at MBL league meet came back, full force. I had to walk from the track to the XC room. Eek.

Week-15 Wedsnday
We all met today at Nicene for an easy 40 minute run, which makes no sense to me at all, but I ran anyway. The gut cramp I’ve got seems to have eased up a bit, but it’s not completely gone. It nipped at me a bit come the last half of the quick run.

Friday- At Woodward
Today was awesome. We had a lot of team bonding, which it actually was. We told eachother how great we were, and I thanked the coaches for believing in us. It was a really emotional time. And we also got the details on the weather tommorrow, It’s going to be raining by the time we run our race 
. Our competition is from OC, and well… it’s a bit cooler in Monterey than OC… evil laugh…
We jogged the course, and did some strides of the line, no big deal.

Saturday: California Interscholastic Federation State Championships
Wow… That’s all I’ve got to say. That was a magical end to an incredible season. Being part of team… not just a bunch of guys, but a TEAM, that TEAM will have a place in my heart forever.
My race was pretty godanm good. I got a good first mile 5:10 at the milemark, I almost eased up the second mile, but stopped myself before I had done too much damage. The hill was easy, and cutting the tangents was easier than I thought it would be. I just muskled my way through them weak runners, from corner to corner. Heh… mean aren’t I? I finished the race with my classical flare, passed about 4 guys in the last 100m. I’m happy ‘bout that , My time was 16:52.8 or officially 16:53. The team race was tight. Really really tight. As we finished we all packed together and waited in trepidation for the results. In the end, the race was decided by 7 points. Loyola came in first with 111, and us second with 118. Jeremy and Ivan cried, I almost cried with them, but managed to say a few heartfelt and encouragin’ words to them. “We’ll never have this chance again,” Jeremy said… Those words rang in my head for a few moments and tears welled up inside my eyes before I said, “I’m proud of you, both of you. Seriously proud… now let’s make the best we can next year.” I don’t think there will ever be a team this fantastic at NMC.
Today was the conclusion of the best season of my life. I was being kind of cocky when I titled this thread “Another Season (The best one of my life)” but it turned out to be just that.
Thanks Charlie for lettin’ me get away with this thread 
Congrats man,nice to see you happy and proud.
I`m proud of ya lol
This season was real special… Thanks.
