Wherever you go, there you are.

A former teammate of mine told me this at dinner once after a hard practice on the Springfield College track. I never really thought about it until now. Despite the fact that it comes directly from the title of a not-so-popular book, there's more to this than at "first thought." He's long been graduated and I find myself at the helm of the cross country team here now. Maybe what he tried to tell us then was more influential that I thought....
