<p>Thanks! I must say, that is a great collection of photos. As shown in those photos, my manly physique and boyish good looks could easily make me the next posterboy for the Academy’s recruiting campaign. All they need now is to get their hands on the one of me in my speedo, flexing with all my might, directly in front of the picturesque Chapel/Mountain Range combination. </p>
<p>Yeah, that’s exactly the reason Coach Stanforth and I reasoned for why it would be better to not do XC the first season. I’ll still get to practice with the team and maybe even run in a few meets unattached, so I can kindof postpone the pressure/stresses of racing for one season as I get adjusted to the Academy lifestyle.</p>
<p>Sounds at least like you’ll have some real fun for a week before sending your son off. We’ll definitely have to try and get together the night before I-Day (I believe I’ll be flying in the day before I-Day, should get in sometime in the afternoon).</p>
