Out of difficulties grow miracles

AM didnt wake up on time for practice and realizing it was to late for practice by the time i woke up i decided just to run on my own. Ran 5 miles was going to run 6 but didnt have enough time to run 6.

Up at camp now and ran our first run in the high altitude it was just an easy 4 and felt pretty good.

 High Altitude Camp

AM ran 8 miles not really a hard run but not exactly easy though, it was our longest run up at camp and was pretty fast paced on the first half. Felt pretty good during the run but afterwards I felt terrible. I didn't even feel good enough to eat very much breakfast.

Ran an easy 3 miles and then after jumped into the lake which felt amazingly good.

High Altitude Camp

AM today was our hilly run, which basically meant big long giant hill. 5 miles total and on the way up it was extremely hard for me to stay up with all the big boys. The way back down was way better, I didnt go quite as fast as I could have and the entire time my body just wanted to fly down the hill but I held back and went down easy anyway.

PM 3 mile run on the most amazing trail run i have ever been on. We started out at about the top of the mountain where a great lookout was and ran down into a gorge thing. It was so much fun on the way down with rocks, steep hills, many sharp turns, and an amazing environment around us. Way back was a lot harder. On my way up me and a couple of other boys seperated and were a ways ahead of everyone and I had the opportunity to push one of the boys up that hill even though he wanted to stop so badly I didnt let him and it was a learning experience for both of us. 

High altitude camp

AM what was supposed to be an easy run turned out to be extremely hard run. It was basically hard hills the entire run till the turnaround point, but like most runs that start with a hill it ended with an easy down hill.

 High altitude this week was just awesome. The team was so much fun to hang out with and the activities were awesome. I feel like I had a fun time but still got the team bondingdone and got the message across of daring to go. Some of my goals were completed on this trip by having our sports team becoming like a family.

AM first run back home and it ended up being a tempo. I met up at the washington elementary school with Preston, Cameron, and Jake. Then unexpectedly Josh Farish showed up not knowing there was no organized practice so we invited him on our run. The tempo was surprisingly the easiest run I had done all week my legs weren't tired and wasn't really even breathing hard. It was a 2 mile tempo on a 5 mile run. We ran basically at a 6:40 pace although we ended at like a 6 flat pace. I'm glad I could set up this run with these guys or I might not have ran at all. Plus they pushed me harder than at the moment (being sleepy tired already) would have been willing to push my self.

PM ran a 3 on my own and it was quite a bit hotter than I had grown accustomed to at high altitude camp but felt really good all the same. 

Ran my 3 miler a bit later than usual today at around 9. I ran part of it with my family so basically I was going way slow. Then they turned around at the mile mark and I ran the rest with my little bro and that was better. Felt good today not as well as yesterday but still pretty good.
