BPSXC x Martha Vineyard HS Invitational Recap/Results 2018
After an amazing summer of captain practices, as well as attending the Bostonxc with Coach Tim Broe and Foss Running Camp week 2 (August 19th-26th). The Student Athlete's and I believed that we have a chance to be the first City team in over 30 Years to qualify for All States. Over the last three decades BPS has produced amazing front runners but never a team of five to seven Student Athletes that had a top four finish at the Emass Divisional Meet.. After this past weekend we are proud to share that #DreamsAreTangibleGoals we are getting closer to the Goal. #BPSvsHistory
Amazing performance every runner ran a personal best. We lost by 8 points to Woburn HS boys team, salute to Coach Fletcher #TannerPride. Two years ago we attended the ninth Annual Martha's Vineyard Invitational, we entered in the JV division and ran decent.
First we shall start with Cristian Novelle-Ruddy, young brother of two year Captain Gustavo Novelle-Ruddy who is a freshman at Regis College. Cristian started his career off, running his first 5k in 20:14 and placed 19th Overall earning him a medal in the JV race.
First time since the inception of the City Wide XC team, we had Five Boys under 18 Mins.

Foss Running Camp Day 1
Great day not even thinking about the cravings, the environment stimulating and motivating me to do better. I have already connected with some amazing people. I just need continue on this path I believe there is going to be some success at the end of this journey. I wouldn't exchange the struggle no regrets it's only making me stronger and better.
Once we arrived, I was informed that I was going to be the Cabin Coach for the Wildcat Cabin which had the town of Hingham XC team. My boys were placed with Legendary Coach George Rose and some of the Marshfield Boys XC team in Cabin "Old Lookout"
After checking and unpacking we had Day One camp Introduction by Camp Director and truly one of the most humblest human beings I have met, in Coach Kevin Maloney, explaining the campers the general rules plus expectations. After that we had an an amazing Dinner, I mean can't go wrong with Chicken Broccoli and Ziti, had an opportunity to check in with my team and see how they were enjoining themselves.
We end the night with a camp fire and the boys and I truly in amazement of mother nature and her beauty as we are accustomed to the Skyscrapers and Fog, we were mesmerized by the Sky filled with stars and the air being so clean. Lights out was at 10:30 pm I started writing in my journal.
DAY 7 - IMAGINE
8:19pm April 28, 2k14
Just finished my workout at the Reggie Lewis. After work I went to City Sports downtown Boston and purchased some new running sneakers a new gym bag and shirt to run in.
When I got to the Reggie Lewis I had to due a my warm 800 metes indoor 4 laps. Started off with some stretching, did some drills working on form then light upper body workout to shock the muscles. After that I ran a mile.
Pre WORKOUT - soundtrack of the day: ALL EYEZ ON ME from the one of the greatest writers in hiphop history. I sure got my mind made up, came home to a bomb dinner, Salmon with Asparagus, mixed vegatables with quinoa. Also I am reaching my goal with my walkmate and app via Samsung

Watched the a greatest Fighter Pound for Pound defend his title. Salute to Bones Jones another masterpiece in the octagon #DreamsAreTangibleGoals. As athletes we can admire and appreciate greatness, the resiliency and dedication it takes to become elite.

The guys that I followed and admire when I was younger where the Hulk Hogans, Macho Man Randy Savage's of the World, Rest In Peace Ultimate Warrior.. But no disrespect the dude NOW is BONE JONES
“As the saying goes, it’s dangerous to set your goals short because you might achieve them,” I’m trying to think extremely big and set a goal that’s extremely high above myself in order to continue to elevate and continue to be motivated.” - Jon Jones
“I know that I have three or four big fights in front of me to be considered one of the greatest of all time,” I want to earn that honor. I’m starting to believe I really can be the greatest fighter of all time. I’m taking that thought — greatest fighter of all time — and I’m breaking it down, and I’m breaking it into one opponent at a time.” - Jon Jones via via MMAJunkie

Peace
Slept a lil on unesasy had a crank in my neck. I got up at 3:30 am, went back to bed got back up at 5:54 am. I did a light stretch and walked to the park next to my home, this is the place where I found solitude where i was introduced to Tranquility again. I couldn't help to notice that I saw this hanging from the telephone wires. I couldn't help to think this image reminded me of the 80's, this time around It was a mental note NOT TO HANG IT UP
Couldn't help that the Creator was shining on me, the scene was set and it was beautiful, more motivation for me to continue this journey. The Soundtrack for this morning was Nipsey Hu$$le - Bullets Ain't got no Name Vol.3 rocking to personal favorites
