today we ran around parkway. warm up i felt good. then as we started our run i was attempting to do a double heel clipper off the sidewalk but i just couldn't get it... oh well i'll keep practicing (at least i would get one, unlike by-run who kept missing his foot) our journey continued onward until we turned left at a light where we continued for another mile or so just talking about races from the olympic trials. soon after we turned left again to head toward the freeway. then some kid just started talking about his trip to montana or something and how he met olympic swimmers and had very revealing windows in his hotel. as we started to climb a hill i felt very relaxed. coach was comlaining how he hadn't run in three days so the hill was hard for him....wimp. as we reached the top of the bridge and started to curve left we talked about how 2 girls tied exactly in the 200meter for third and now they have no way of deciding which girl to send to the olympics since they've never been  put up with this situation. we tried kicking a bottle for a while but wes kept hitting it in the ditch and casey got mad he didn't hit it on the road so he threw it off the bridge at one of the cars on the highway...dont know exactly what he was thinking. as we curved left i followed hunter as he sped way ahead of everyone and we talked about how he needs a job but he wont put in the time to get one. as we began the reach town kaylee boyer caught up with us and hit my hand twice for no reason and talked about her missionary boys. i made a funny talking about the time i drove a diesel on the freeway backwards and all these cars ran into me... it was funny at the time but prolly not anymore. then we went under another bridge and say morgon graff running by and someone said that they had loved her body 2 years ago, but i cant tell you who cause they could get fired if anyone found out. by-run then made an inappropriate joke about how he only went after little girls and thats when kaylee punched him and ran ahead, but who wouldn't i mean you should keep that kind of stuff to yourself. when we got back to the school we had to run one lap around the track to silitify our milage of 5. then we stretched and i took krinshaw, casey, and mia home cause mia wanted to get home fast so she could shower for drivers ed...(good thing too cause she stunk up my car) i parked in her garage and she punched me.. in the arm. then i took casey home, but krinshaw was before mia or casey cause he lives by mia. then i came home and ate and got on facebook and read about how rainy it is in swedan with frida. poor girl, that looks like it really stinks, she should just come back something. overall it was an alright run, i prolly left out some stuff but this was just a short version of it so it doesn't matter too much. i'm exited for our workouts to start soon cause i'm sick of just running one pace, i want to run fast... i wanna win! btw its jessica's birthday today so next time you see her you should tell her so and maybe shake her hand or something cause she likes it when you do that.

haha yeah i threw a bottle at cars on the freeway..NOT! You little liar! haha but unfortunately the by-run creepy comment actually happened...

From By-run on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 12:30:19 from 208.66.33.215

What the crap.... that was out of context! I used a very sarcastic tone!

From caseykimzey on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 12:52:35 from 174.23.109.217

I didn't hear any sarcasm....especially since u r the coach of little girls...it makes sense ;)

From Jake K on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 13:07:57 from 155.100.226.54

you need to learn the magic of PARAGRAPHS for an entry this long! :-)

From Red Leader on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 13:27:57 from 208.66.32.209

Ok! Mike, first of all.... This website is not made for paragraphs of your life... But to see your progress about your running... Nothing else. Nothing More. But keep blogging and RUN FAST!

From Holt on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 13:38:50 from 67.2.240.4

Jake, you should attempt to read his AP essays in school!

I, like some others, have questions about the truthfulness of this commentary. I don't think ANYONE said he/she like Morgan's body two years ago!

From By-run on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 13:45:07 from 208.66.33.215

hi jake! i stalk.....read your blog now and then! you're a good runner!

From Holt on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 16:07:09 from 67.2.240.4

He also stalks little girls, but that doesn't raise any red flags?!

From Erin on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 16:28:29 from 208.66.34.199

That is sort of not right by-run.

From Michael Finch on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 18:41:33 from 75.169.199.213

wow this got a lot more attention then i thought it would :) thats the most comments i have ever gotten on one run.

casey- i guess that was a little far off but it was close

by-run- i'll just say i wouldn't say anything like that again.

Jake- ha sorry, i'll do that from now on. it is kind of a pain to read when its like this.

Holt- that part was true, you didn't say it someone else did but you put it into there mind. and my essay's weren't horrible.. i think i got a 4 one time.

From Micah H on Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 11:33:55 from 75.162.142.111

Oh the laughter that this gave me.... :)

From Vis on Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 11:42:46 from 199.127.70.230

Michael, you are making a real commitment with this post. Don't let us down with the next one.

From Holt on Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 11:44:26 from 67.2.240.4

He can't do something this masterful two dys in a row!

From Michael Finch on Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 12:15:30 from 75.169.199.213

ya...something like this would be very hard to do everyday. so i think i'll make it a weekly thing.

From Jp :) on Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 19:53:27 from 71.213.69.109

Well that's five minutes of my life I'll never get back.. I commend you on the effort it must have taken to write all that down though. And by my count, you only spelled 8 words wrong!

From Michael Finch on Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 09:15:33 from 75.169.199.213

ya, i spent more time and thought into this then any of my essay's in coaches class.

what the heck, why do you always look for that! the day i catch you spelling a word wrong will never be let go.

From Jp :) on Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 15:31:40 from 71.213.69.109

I didn't look for it! I started counting when I saw how you spelled solidify. I couldn't help it.
