Today was the CIF finals for Cross Country (XC for short) and it was an up and down day to say the least. I didn't get the run in that I wanted but what can you do! The girls started things off and a junior, Paula, who ran for me last year on JV, finished 7th and the top 6 all finished 20th or better to win CIF!!! The rough part of this race was our 7th finisher, CC, who would have finished top 20 but about 25 yards away from the finish line collapsed! She struggled to get up a couple of times and keep running but kept losing her balance. She ended up walking the rest of the way and still finished 31st. What a trooper!
I guess that was the start of the downfall as the boys didn't fare quite so well. There were 6 teams that were pretty evenly matched but we just didn't run our best races. We had our top 5 all in the top 42 but it wasn't good enough. We finished 6th but 2 - 6 were all within 20 points of each other! Still a great season guys and Patrick finished 3rd to make it to state along with the girls team!

Sunday, Nov. 18th:
Saw the Rush show in Anaheim with my friend Chris Babbitt last night. A very different show but always great in my opinion! They played some more off the beaten path songs along with most of their new "Clockwork Angels" album with a 7 piece string ensemble. Had a very large man fall back down the stairs on me & I had no other choice but to catch him. I managed to mess my back up a little in the process though. Tonight's run was cut a little short due to my back and the fact that the sun was going down at a rapid pace!
The Mission Bay Park part of the Fiesta Bay loop. I'll get more miles in soon to get back on track!
