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

5.00

6x800 400 cool down after each one. (.75) warm up goal time was 2:50 based on a 11:20 2 mile pace. 1-2:45 2-2:49 3-2:48 4-2:55 5-3:05 6-3:04 in the begining i felt pretty good and i got out and pushed hard and lead for a little. after the third one i was really tired and i said i didn't think i could do any more, but coach holt said he knew i could. after the fourth one i stopped and felt like collapsing. baker walked and then jogged with me for a lap. i felt very ashamed for stopping like that and not keeping up. i got a drink and jumped back in on what was supposed to be the last one but i had two more. i had a hard time keeping my form together and breathing on my last 2. decker ran with me on my last lap and pushed me to not let my time slip any more. the muhammad ali talk from jd helped me out and i finished without quitting and stopping. i'm so tired and my groin/hamstring hurts bad right now and i can hardly walk. i got to gut it up for the track meet tomorrow!

Way to keep going even when you feel like giving up! I'm glad muhammed is a good source of inspiration. Good luck at your track meet!

I hope that your leg gets feeling better, injuries are no fun. Good job at being such a hard worker! I was talking to a girl in my English class today about track and she said to me, "You're so fast," and I told her that you were faster and cooler. It's true. You really are PV's most inspirational athlete! I heart you! :-)
