Personal:

Pine View High School class of 2008! (just graduated May 23). I became a runner my sophmore year when I started Cross Country and I have been running ever since. Ran XC and Track 3 straight years. I love road races and all that cool stuff.

I'm going to serve an LDS mission in Tallahassee Florida, August 13, speaking spanish.

August 2010- Just got back! Mission was great. I ran a little, maybe a total of 25 miles the whole 2 years. haha.

We'll see when I hit the streets again.

Total Distance

6.54

Tortoise fence. Ran with Ruth for most of the run and we just talked. I was really tired but it easier when we were talking and not thinking so much about running.

4.16 miles 32:39 total 7:51/mi ave

Ran to the bank and back. I fell back from the group in the middle for a little bit, but then I pushed a little and caught back up. I am glad I did, it was a better run that way. My legs are way tired and it was really hot.

2.38 miles 17:57 total 7:33/mi ave

----Race tomorrow. I am nervous and scared but way excited. One goal I have for this year is to not have any races above 20min. Last year I beat my old PR at the first race, I'll go for it tomorrow.--

* I have been thinking about my goals and I wanted to add a goal: Just have fun. If I get TO focussed on braking times and beating people it wont be as fun for me. I need to remember why I do XC and have fun. And break as many times as I can.. : )

Nice goals Jeff! you know whats up! It's not about racing other people so much its about pushing yourself and racing yourself, and having fun. That probably doesn't make sense, but it does to me. XC FOREVER!
