The only thing that helps me calm my body is running.  I really need it like air.  To be a part of a really amazing group of people which also have running in their hearts is like nothing I have felt before.  So a few days ago I ran in the first cross country meet.  That day I easily thought about not running, but then I realized that I had the opportunity to just try.  Having the practice and support from the other members of my team behind me motivated me to try.  In some especially strange way, their support allowed me to dare myself.
