    Ok heres my dilemna (sp?) Our team qualifed for state. State is run tomorrow at one p.m. However, in football our undefeated team (#2 in state) plays against our rival school Fri. night at 7. It's supposed to be a huge game and practically the entire school will be there dressed in all black.

    I really want to go to the game but my coach advised me not to. I have no problem staying home, becasue I really want to break 17 on this course (ran 18:05, 17:18 )

    How exactly would going to the game affect my running? oh, and 3 other state runners are going as well
    Should I stay or should I go now????

    I think your coach was afraid of you standing up to cheer and stuff during the game, and thus tiring out your legs. You should go to the game, but remember not to stand or do anything that might weaken your legs for Saturday.
    Congratulations on making it to State! That is really incredible.

    stay home. If its cold that night, even if you are wearing enough, it can still take some out of you. Also standing up can weaken your legs. And even though you can sleep in on saturday, it would still be better to be at home relaxing and going to sleep early.

    I would go for a little bit then leave around halftime. Or would that make it worse because you wouldn't want to leave? Just keep really warm and no jumping for joy..haa

    This is what I usually do because invites are always the day after a game.

    yeah, im staying home right now for our game vs. rival. we dress in hunters orange though, and hunt the other team.

    or else we yellow out sometimes, since its our school color, or else we white out, just cause it looks sa-weeeet.
