Band of Brothers

Mrs. Miller and I went over to my old high school for a walk run yesterday before the thunderstorms rolled in. I tried to stride the blocks on the sidewalk just like I used to do while training and found I could still do it! Today I have a slightly hyper- extended knee. It sucks being old.
We walked and jogged for about an hour and as we were getting ready to leave I noticed a group of runners. I could tell by the way they ran and how intelligent they looked that it must be the cross country team. I went over to chat and they were very friendly. I asked them questions and they asked me questions. I gave them this blog address and they gave me theirs. Later on I wondered why I felt so compelled to introduce myself to them and to talk with them. I finally decided it was a "Band of Brothers" sort of thing. We all have shared the joys of running and the agony of defeet. We also have a shared history and will always have that in common. I am a part of AHS history and so are they - this will not change except for the addition of new characters each season. This is something for us as a Capital team to remember - we are part of a proud tradition. Years from now I hope you feel the pride of being connected to the Capital Cross Country Team as I do the Ashand High School Cross Country Team.

Alone we are good - Together we are great!
