Nice easy recovery run in the gully. It felt good but I should have drunk more water during the day. I learned in history that Mary Beth Tinker is coming to Alta!!!!!!!!! That's crazy! I remember form 9th grade US government, her case was one of the 5-10 cases we learned about, an extremly important ruling from the supreme court in favor of the Bill of Rights! But unfortunately... I will be in saint george :(. And it's an even better person to have come to the school because she was the main person in a huge supreme court case and she wasn't just a criminal trying to get out of something like Miranda or T.L.O. I guess Miranda got killed haha. I'm sad I can't go but I'm really excited for saint george too! I really hope our 4x800m team wins and maybe qualifies for nationals, that trip is so fun! I wish I was racing the mile but I suppose its good to diversify my events, I need to get down under 10 minutes for the 2 mile, and hopefully 2 minutes for the 800m, at this meet I want run about 2:03 for the 800m, as fast as possible.

Time conversions for the 3200m for elevation (4x800 specifically) convert the 7:52 qualifying time for the high school 4x800m team for nationals to a 7:58 at Pineview. So we need to average 1:59 and we will be great. At our other meets in utah, the qualifying time ranges from 8:03 to 8:05. So I think we will definitely be able to qualify for nationals this year, I just hope I can get under 2 minutes!

That's the Murphy-Ochoa gift that keeps on giving Blake and something you won't get at any high school but A-L-T-A.
