Me, John, and I think chris rhombs were selling gold cards. It'd been like 15 minutes and we had so much as gotten some one to come to their door. Finnally, this one lady opens her door up and John starts his sales pitch. He's probably 10 seconds into it when she stops him and says she'll buy one. Johns reaction: "YOU WILL?" . With that exact expression. Both us and the lady laughed. I remmeber saying: "John, thats not how you get people to buy what you're selling." The lady just laughed at it and bought one all the same. She gave John some advice: Try not to be so desperate sounding. We sold some more, but I'll never forget that sale. I've got way more. Cross country has given me more than I deserve. But I don't wanna be selfish. I'll let some other share first b4 i share more.

alyssa polovitz and i were bored one day and we were looking on the guys website and we'd thought we'd post as a joke on it so we posted a note saying that we needed a date for saturday night and we didnt really expect to get any replies until we got like 10 or so and then we posted some more and we posted aaron demro's phone number as a joke (but alyssa told aaron that we did) and then aaron opened his big mouth and told the forum that it was us. so then ean gets all mad about it and me and him get into a HUGE debate over who knows what. so that lasts awhile and i think we ended up getting a record on the posts... good times ean good times. i think you got the award for most need of a life for that one...

Nice lauren! I wont forget that. It probably contributed to getting so many people to visit the forum, and having people check it out more often than once a month...Kurtis, share, dont worry, there is lots of space for anyone to put their memories in!! Both of your stories made me laugh for a while... ;D

Running the big block used to be a lot better than it is now. The dirt road was made of dirt and there weren't so many houses, and more barns. Running there in the spring was really beautiful, especially along 47, crossing over the river past lawndale.

I remmeber back in 8th grade. I ran 7.2 miles exactly. I was so happy. That was the longest I'd ever ran. I couldn't beleive myself. I remmeber shaking Mr. Miles hand and thanking him for his help.

it was the first run that I was on at the summer clinic thing and we were going down peony and we had to cross this road. Saunders was right in front of me as I was waiting to get across the road. It looked clear so he went across, and I of course followed. As I got to the middle a state trooper comes by in the other lane as I'm in the middle of the road, and he just looked at me. That scared the crap out of me, mostly because I almost got hit, and a state trooper just gave me a really weird look. He went past and it was over, and the whole run I was lookin over my shoulder. That was fun though. Ever happened to anyone else.

Over the winter, I was running on the golf course with Chris Rhombs and Mike Burgmeier. We were going up that hill right next to where you go into the trail-has a little bridge at the bottom. Anyway, we were about to go up when we saw Fei coming down in Mason's skis. He was borrowing them to try skiing. We stopped to see him come down-he started going down and wiped out in the middle. We went up and it turned out he broke one of masons skis. Probably one of the only times he went skiing he busted a pair of skis. I thought it was hilarious in a sad kind of way.

"DUDE they know the secret passage!" "...SECRET!? I think if 100 cars know, it's not much of a secret."

That was hilarious-32 cars at the light and a long line of cars to the parking lot, and mark still refused to admit that it wasn't a secret passage, it was one of the 2 ways to get out of the school.

I remmeber, some how we got on the topic of having fast babies. And mr. miles said something like "Well thats why cross-country runners have lots of kids." Coach burndt just kinda stood there and coach jahn must've been thinking he wasn't getting the joke and took the liberty of expalining. Jahn was like "That means they have a lot of children" and then the best part, cause burdnt still isn't laughting, Jahn says bluntly "It means they have sex alot." I was laughing so hard.

never stopping for cars at the schmidt lake rd and peony hill intersection is always fun...making everyone mad as we run in the cross walk in front of them knowing they have a green light always makes me laugh..... ;D
