9.4 easy today, I ran 2.5 of them on a tread mill and went up to 5:00 pace for a quarter mile, just to let my body know I would be doing more of that in a few weeks. I might do a 1600m in Florida because that would be really fun at sea level. I've been busy the past few days, I missed my run on Saturday because I was about to do it at night but my friend called and invited me to the BYU-Stanford game and I felt like I should go. I had a good time and I've been battling a knee injury I hurt again during the my break, its all better after the extra day off so I think it's a good thing I took it off. That tendon has been bothering me on and off since I overstretched it in 9th grade, I need to be more careful. I found a little inspiration today, if I'm going to run on a Division 1 team like USU I need to earn my spot. I need to work harder, train smarter, and be better than all the other athletes who want a spot on a Division1 team. I need to do my best and make some great PRs, I don't just want to make the team, I want to be a really valuable asset to the team.

Blood test confirmed I am allergic to wheat, onion, and soy. I have to keep eating them until my endoscopy in January but then I will stop and my throat will clear up, should be healed just in time for Pineview.
