Richard spring total mileage - including warm up, tempo run, and cooldown with the guys who ran. I had an unbelievable experience and I’m incredibly grateful to the coaches for allowing me to share this with the rest of the guys. Everyone ran insane. I had chills at the start, watching the sea of colors go still before the gun. Cheering on the team was incredibly gratifying for me. I also had fun rooming with Walter and Preston; I feel the most connected with the team I ever have. This has and will motivate me to push even further than I am used to. I took a lot of time to think about what motivates me and what makes me do what I do. While I’m still iffy on the details, I am sure of how much I want it. I’ve let go of my material goals and will now commit solely to, like I wrote in my reflection, being the best teammate I can be. And if that means I have to run beyond my expectations, so be it. I cannot wait to see what the rest of this year has in store.
