Nate Fiala - Top 5 on 1998 State Championship Team, Central Cross Country Captain 1999, UND XC Captain, I ran with the group from the summer of 1998 through 2001, then occasionally from 2002 through 2005 while I was at UND
A list (in no particular order) of some of my favorite things about Central’s summer running program.
Seeing my friends every day
Frisbee in the park before the run
Frisbee-football games after the run
Kick the bottle
Saturday morning donuts
Long runs
Getting tan
4-mile buildup
Trail runs at Turtle River State Park
Pushing ahead to run with the older runners before I had to turn back for the house
Hanging back to run with the younger runners before they turned back for the house
Sliding through the backseat of cars stopped in the crosswalk
Having runners who have graduated come back to run with us
Going back to run with the group after graduating
Water cup decorating
Watching the freshmen carry the water to and from the Frisbee field
Working up a good sweat
Friday game-day
Anticipation for the camping trip
Not having homework after practice
Running in only running shorts, or “nakeds,” as we called them
The Knights Challenge
Deciding on a route for the day
The symphony of “beeps” when everyone started or stopped their watch at the same time
Trying to break speed workout records
Finishing a run by racing each other down University from N. Washington to Coach’s house
Being on Chaput’s team for Frisbee-football, and when I wasn’t…
