Miles, Milkshakes and Memories

Things that happened to me today: crossed a state line with my team to preview our championship race course; talked about mile splits, surges, and attacking the hills; realized that our team actually has a shot at this championship; decided to take a detour to stop for milkshakes; sang along loudly on the ride home to Miley, Carly Rae and Shaggy; talked about Colby the whole ride back; witnessed my top 6 girls realize that their friendship will make them a better, stronger and faster team.

Now...

Things that today reminded me of: long runs with best friends, Dairy Cone milkshake runs in the freezing March cold, steamy hot milkshake showers, long bus rides to meets, elation at winning states and celebrating races, working with teammates to charge up the hills, silly rituals hugging trees, spending every day together, running for the team, friends forever. 

...and then.
Mules for life, 

Rachel "<3 Deb" Runner
