Holy Thursday

With no school, practice started at 9. For some guys this meant franticly running into the locker room at 8:59. For others who arrived early, it meant working on a new pre-practice fab—race walking. Apparently it’s all the rage.

We had some unexpected company on the warm-up. The Frisbee guys were at DeSmet for like the first time in a while taking advantage of some open field time on the DeSmet turf aka the YMCA. Former member of White Team Soccer, senior Anthony Marino joined us for a lap. He tagged out to fellow senior and b-tosser, Matt Silberberg for the next lap. Drew Ladage took the final stretch. Despite playing a sport that involves a fairly good amount of running, they didn’t seem too much enjoy one lap around the track.

Today, everyone was running to Conway Park. Some went straight there, others took Laduemont, and the top group had to run some 200s first before making the journey. Because of this I got to run with other people for more or less the first time all week. Instead of my normal company I ran with a group of mostly sophomores. It was pretty sweet!

On the run, the Locker Room Civil War that broke out last week heated up. For a reason that on one can remember the BLB (Back Left Bay) declared war on the FRB (Front Right Bay). Loyalties were questioned and bay members discussed strategy. The winner of this war may come down to whoever can make meaningful alliances and sheer determination.

Because it was Holy Thursday and we celebrate Christ’s Last Supper with his Apostles, we went to breakfast. Or maybe it was because we didn’t have school and we were hungry. Same thing. The two meals were pretty much identical. Well, expect that we were eating breakfast. And at First Watch, not Last anything. Oh and there were only 10 of us. Yea, not to mention that our meal has no impact on the course of human history. Ah, who cares; it was delicious.
