Ode to the early mornings and 6 AM meets,
Ode to the inside jokes,
Ode to my second family,
Ode to the loud bus rides,
Ode to the 5K and time trials,
Ode to the locker room,
Ode to after-meet shopping trips with my teammates,
Ode to the power I only feel when I’m running,
Ode to walking the course with my teammates and getting completely lost,
Ode to breaking my record,
Ode to everything I’ve learned and learned to love,
Ode to cross country
