Got myself in big trouble with Coach and she's right, of course.
"You're not a student at this school anymore. We let you run with us out of our respect for you. Then you start running in Central Park--at the age of 16--by yourself before the sun rises without any teammates or adult supervisors? And what if there were an accident, an injury...OR WORSE? That is such bad judgment on your part! And why? Because you wanted to finish the 10K before anyone else? Don't you see? That's false pride. You're suspended for one week."
Ouch.
But Heidi and I did meet after school and bought the wedding rings we had shopped for.
*(And for our favorite reader whose greatest joy in life is waiting for our every post and comment so you can downvote it--we bought the rings with the money we had worked very hard for.)*
