Sorry about the loss Glow.
I met this girl Pam my freshman year of highschool during track practice. We became really good friends throughout the years and she yes to have been the only girl friend I had that always remained just a friend, and I was ok with that. She was too genuine of a person to even want to get caught up in a tedious relationship with. She was a very popular person due to her friendly personality and i'm not sure if i'd ever seen her upset once since we'd met. She would be someone remembered most for always smiling and one of the people you'd see under "Most Likely To Succeed" in the yearbook if she'd lived long enough to make it in.
We were running a cooldown lap towards the end our senior spring season, senior year, talking about how we wished we were good enough at running to earn a scholarship to a good college. I knew she was smart and talented enough to get into a top college, and was probably just relating to make me feel better. But while talking about it she dropped out of nowhere and hit the ground hard. I figured she'd tripped on something until a turned around and saw the way she was lying. Kinda looked like she was sleeping. It also looked like she died, which she did. And I rolled her over and I vividly remember brushing the pieces of the rubber track off her face and being terrified and screaming for help. Then after awhile when the ambulance finally sped through the field how seeing dilated her pupils were. And wishing i'd learned how to do cpr properly or anything... It was horrible.
Anyways she died from one of those sudden heart failures from a condition that was undetectable without certain tests, which her entire family got after it happened. They created The Pamela Miller 5k in her honor, and that's what inspired me to start running 5k's, even though previously i'd only done sprint events.
