On Monday, the official mandatory practice began for track. I was anxious due to the fact that Joey Montoya's older brother would be our distance coach. Rumor had it that he was a great runner who planned to push us farther than we had ever gone.
When I got there, the team did the routine warmup of 2 laps and then dynamic stretching. After that, coach told us that we were free to go. Instead of leaving, the distance team ran 1 mile to kick off the week. This was a great mile. We took it at a slow pace, and it was sort of a bonding time for the new members. Afterwards, we stretched down and left. I felt extremely optimistic, and back in the runner's focus when I left.
