I didn’t design these teas but I’ve tasted quite a few!  They are delicious and come with wonderful names and enticing artwork.

returning to the armory.

my senior year in collegiate track and field starts in just a few hours.

as i sit here, unable to sleep from the various things bouncing around in my head, i can't help but think of how crazy this whole journey's been. this meet, freshman year, someone stepped on the back of my spike and i ran with one shoe for 800m of the 1000m. finished 2nd to last, but i made it worthwhile. sophomore year the opening height for high jump was lowered to 6'1, but i no-heighted because i just wasn't ready for it. hadn't practiced jumping, and that was my downfall. junior year was similar - had plenty of height, but couldn't clear the bar, and i no-heighted. it's the first meet of the season, can't really put a lot of money on the table, but i'm gonna attack it like it's my last meet. i don't want to go four full years without clearing a height at one of the biggest meets of the indoor season. it'd be cool to surprise some D1 schools like i did down in wake forest a couple years ago, but i've learned to not go into things with high expectations. that jump (6'5", 1.96m) came after i said i'd be happy with 6'2, and i was coming off a really bad cold. strength is there, but at this point it's all mental. for now i'll keep my thoughts humble.

i'll post the results tomorrow - and if you're in the new york area, check out the gotham cup at the new balance arena in spanish harlem. i'll be wearing gold and brown!
