Looking at the main 4 meets that utah teams went to over the weekend I have decided that in order to finish 2nd team all-state, I need to be running with Cubby, or at least a significantly closer. Yesterday he finished 24 seconds ahead of me, my goal for Park City is to break 16:00, if I do this I think I will be pretty close to Cubby's time, probably within 15 seconds. Looking at Lehi and Timpagnogos, their guys aren't really that fast, I'm not scared of any Lehi guys, but together they make a really strong team. Valdosta State in Georgia just called me while I was writing, its cool to hear from colleges! I should get in touch with Southern Utah again, they might be more intrested to talk to me now that I've run a lot faster for everything. And I will have to wait on Utah State, maybe I will visit Mr. Gensel after the USU indoor meet if I can and talk to him. I'm really excited to see where I will end up, if I don't go to SUU or USU, I want to go to a coast school, east or west coast, but probably east. I think I will go on a 4 mile run soon, its a nice day, I feel like a light excercise and I am kind of motivated to beat some of American Fork's guys and start running with some better guys. 

Ran a little over 4 miles, about a mile with my brother, great day for running, cool and sunny.

We'll be breaking this down in a team meeting this week Blake.

Lets sit down sometime this week and talk about the recruiting/college stuff ok?

For sure, that sounds good, I was really impressed when I looked a Bob Firman results for those teams! No morning practice right?
