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

3.50

Ran PVXC this afternoon. It was hot! We did a warm up, stretch, and then ran the Greensprings 3 miler. It was great to run and run with those younger guys, besides old coach Holt :) I fell back a little on the way back but pushed it and stayed with them. By the time I finished I thought I was going to die. I'm glad I got out and ran and put myself throught the heat and pain, one last time.

I go to the MTC for my mission early this wednesday morning. I'm very nervous and very excited. Running XC has really help prepare me for a mission. I have learned so many valuable lessons that I will use on a mission.

you are leaving for a "mission" like a soldier in the middle of the year? How do missions in LDS Church work? Just curious because we don't have them in mine. Do they pay you?
