Ugh xc over time for indoor

Change your mindset to stop being so selfish?

i ran indoor track my freshman year but quit to join the dance team (GO saints! cheergasm co-ed champs!!)but i think i know some things that can help. make sure you run over xmas break, unless you want to spend time or get wasted in your grandmas favorite sweater that you think is ironic. make sure you bring a pillow to the meets omg theyre so long i could just die from watching so many 60s (or the hangover lol). dont run the 800, that race is without a doubt for lesbians and not just the fun make out to get boys attention kind.... the REAL kind.

you arent red-shirting? i thought you had a stress fracture?

-shoelaces matter, lip balm for the inner thighs

-eye liner, it's all indoor lighting

-cankle exercises over break, i'm with ya girl

-team theme, like, we did shots for team points!

-earbuds, the piercing screaming is frightening

-pick events with the least competition, you're not slow if you're first, or events that go last, no one's around

-it's all about the concession area

-having 3 pairs of flats makes a big difference

-scrunchies, good for everything female

-warm up too fast in the outside lanes, feel a pinch, tell coach you're still not sure it's right

Girlie I know exactly how you feel... Stay strong. In freshmen year, when I knew rankings wouldn't cut it on the track, I made this list of things to do to stay relevant. (And no, lol, relevant does not mean being fast or performing well on a larger-than-duel-meet stage...)

1) Crush Cheez-its. When you can finish an entire box totally unfazed you know you have the mental toughness to get through that inevitable nagging injury.

2) Get black out. It strengthens the liver and your soul. Also pinkberry.

3) Tell guys on your team that you are going to get married when you are both 40 and single. This is self-explanatory. No better way to stay relevant than predicting a life of dissatisfaction and settling!

4) Compression socks. They make you look soo good lol. Best worn with minimalist shoe...super legit.

5) Ugh.

6) Complain about how weird the guys team is. Create scandal whenever possible. Conspire.

I can't help you with running fast because, let's get on the real real here gf, most of us ladies are just coasting after a high school career of reasonable success. But a bunch of us are going to sit around tonight at try to be funny. You should totz come!

thinking about organizing some day-of-meet pasta parties to get me in the spirit...

If you really want to stay relevant, sleep with 3, maybe 4 runners on the guys team. Yeah, that oughta do it.

Ms. Weichman....

I want to compliment you on both this thread and the "D3 Girls..." thread.

Brilliant.

assuming you are a Ms. If not, great role playing.

hey girl heyyyy

here are my go-to moves for avoiding indoor:

1. study abroad- can you say day drinking and no coachessss?!

2. stress fracture- running 35 mpw on hard surfaces? guaranteed injuryyy

3. stress in general- winter = seasonal affective disorder... flaunt it girl!

This dude is a dude...

one positive thing I've thought of about indoor is that the final straightaway is only 50 meters so I only have to kick for twice as far. Then again, coach gets to yell at me twice as often since the laps are doubled. ugh

*only have to kick half as far, sorry really spaced out this morning, haven't had my coffee

I yell because I want you to break through those 60 second 200 meter splits. Can you sit right behind me on the bus trip home?

Make sure you bring your iPhone to the meet so you can troll LRC.

At my school the coach chooses not to compete in indoor track. We just run. I like it at times, but sometimes wish we raced.

but why? races hurt, they stink, its embarrassing. to "just run" while maintaining my status as a varsity athlete is truly my dream.

^ditto. God if all it took to be on the varsity team was go for a 40 minute run everyday and do a fake core session in front of the team while complaining about your new pair of calf sleeves, then I'd die and go to a heaven filled with chocolate pudding and pictures of Mark Wahlberg's bulge (have you seen that ridge action?!). Unfortunately we have these things called "races" where they measure your improvement and success in terms of "time" and "numbers." Concrete evidence of decreasing natural talent and motivation is the enemy of every female college runner! Ugh!

btw jordan hasay is the fakest girl i've ever met ugh
