What are teammates for?

Today I ran my first 5k in a year. Needless to say, it was not the greatest. However, I was able to grind through it thanks to my wonderful teammates who came to help push me along. Dave, Lucas, Jade, and Ben all came out to the track to help push me along as I worked through the race against my greatest opponent, myself. The mind is a powerful thing. It can make or break you in a race. Today, I would say that my mind prevailed. I was able to push myself, but I know I could have gone faster. Despite this, I have to give a huge thank you to my teammates and friends who came out and didn't let me quit. I don't think I could have run the time I did without them there.

The semester is in a full gallop. Its end is quickly approaching. It's time to dig in and fight. It's nice to know I don't have to do it alone though. Despite all the injuries that they have sustained, the team is able to stick together. The monster can be beaten and trod upon, but never defeated as long as the team is one.
