No college for me so far in my life, so no team. All the best with your post collegiate career when it arrives :O)

Sarah:
How old are u? Could we perhaps exchange emails or something and discuss training and life sometime? Thanks for the encouragement. I think post collegiate running will be good to me.
Knowing after every race I can get heavily intoxicated
Old enough to be your Mother.....

The following writing sums up my inspiration to run:
Legs burning, stomach churning, heart yearning for the victory. All the trials and tribulations, the pain and frustrations into one sensational electricity. Adrenaline rush takes control of body, heart, mind and soul as I race towards the goal seizing this opportunity. Though some call it vanity, more often insanity they can't take away from me this ecstacy of agony. It's a moment of life's bliss, a reason why I exist, and it's all summed up with a raise of my fist and a point to the sky. My body overwhelmed with spiritual high. This wondrous gift I can't deny. So to Jesus Christ I give all my praise, on and on I will trod for the rest of my days only thanking Him for His glorious ways of lifting me up and making me free, by giving His life on the wood of a tree. So I will exhaust myself so completely, so the world may see God's love through me.
For me, running is truely a gift, and as Pre said, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift." That is my motivation.
so Jesus died so you could be a better runner?
Here's the way it breaks down in my mind. Jesus died to give us eternal life, the ultimate gift. Also, God gave me the gift to be able to run. So in order to attempt to pay back for those gifts, I must not waste my gift, but rather use my full potential so that I can please God, and use it to give glory to him. Anyway, I know this is not a spiritual board, but if anyone wants talk more about this, or the quote or whatever, I'd love to chat. Hit me up on AIM, my screen name is KnightRunner04
