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

4.76

Today is my first time writing in my bolg. I am going to just jump in and get started today and go from now on. Today is a bad day to start off my blog, I was supposed to do 5 miles but I cut it short. When I started my back hurt really bad and I could hardly move so i stopped and tried to stretch. When I was done I was far behind the rest of the team and my back still hurt. i trudged along at a 8:46 mile average and finished in about 41 minutes and then did 9 100 meter striders. it was just a bad day today and I am a little mentally disscouraged. I have been running a lot lately and i am trying to stay positive. I have also been thinking about the track meet coming up this week end and the pain I will have to run through to have a successful race and I am feeling really lazy about everything in life. But it is time to gut it up and get to work: pain is temporary, quiting lasts forever.

Welcome to the blog. Put in as much as you remember about your last two weeks of training. That could reveal some clues about why you are not feeling good, and what you need to do to run better.

Thanks. I will get those weeks in and hopefully that will help.
