Well XC has officially started and I'm so excited! We did time trials yesterday and everyone did amazing! All the girls dropped atleast 2 minutes off of last years time trial...I dropped 8 minutes! We have a foreign exchange student from germany! She's really cool! I think when she figures out how long a mile is she'll be fast [since they don't go by miles over there]. This is the best girls team in the history of Umatilla XC and that's so cool! We have a really good shot at going to state, we're pretty sure we're going! My breathing has been better than it's ever been...even before I had asthma! Usually I have to run with my inhaler in my hand but not anymore! I don't even have to bring it to practice! We were a little bummed about the season because we weren't going to go to the Boise meet. We have so many traditions there and that's when the team bonds the most. It really brings the freshman into the group better, and improves us as a team. So us captains basically told the coach he was being stupid and it was a bad decision...and now we're going! Julio's college will be there running, and the whole team is excited about that! He's like everyone's best friend! That's all the XC news I have for now, but our first meet is this next friday so I'll post more then!
