(view spoiler)[So far, this is just okay. I don't really care about the characters or the storyline. I knew this book was about running, but it is just not holding my interest. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Oooh. So that is why he got so frustrated. Because if Spencer doesn't go, no one gets to go. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Well that was nice of Jake's dad to be happy to pick up Spencer's dad and drive up together to the race. Looks like the problem is solved?? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[They are all sharing something they are afraid of...the one guys says grapes. At first I'm like "what??", but then I continue reading and he explains that he almost choked on one, so I can understand now. I love grapes! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Kind of smart to imagine your fears behind you so that you run faster. I can see how that would work. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I still think it's weird he's afraid of grapes. If he had choked on pizza or a cookie would he then be afraid of that? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I had a feeling that he'd be disqualified, but then when the boys didn't report him I wasn't so sure. Glad he was and that the team got first place. (hide spoiler)]
