Running with the Big Dogs

Parish, I hope your reading this.
Today, I learned that I'm going to start training with the track/cross country club starting Monday. We meet at the track everyday around 3:30. Sounds pretty good right? Right.
Now for the surprise:
When I was talking with the coach today he said, "Look over there. See that girl? She second in Italy for the 800." Mamma Mia! My jaw was on the ground and I'm still trying to process that bit of information.
So as of Monday, I will be running with the big dogs. Can I keep up? Guess I'll find out Monday at 3:30.
