The Mongoose

First practice as a super senior, haha. Pretty much I will just be doing low mileage until I get my mission call and decide for sure whether or not I will do Speedgoat again. I only planned on doing 3 today but I was talking to Tanner and didn't realize we passed the 1.5 mile mark until we were already at 2, so I just decided to do the full 5. Felt pretty out of shape for the first half mile but got a lot better as the run progressed. Also lifted weights after and got super swoll. 

Up a little late last night so I slept in instead of running with the team. Had to do some other stuff and didn't get out until 1 for just an easy 3. So hot. 

Up a little late last night again so slept in, but decided to head up at the end of their practice to see how things were going. Coach wanted to run a few more miles so I ran up to the Spectrum with him. It's a lot nicer in the morning. 

Got to bed at a decent hour last night so I ran with the team this morning. 5 miles on the trails behind the place I used to call school. 

Ran 5 miles with the team in the morning. Pretty good. My call came in the mail yesterday and I opened it today. I have been called to serve in the Chile Rancagua Mission and I report to the Chile MTC on September 23. Super excited for this opportunity. 

8 miles running/hiking in Pine Valley, super relaxed just to get back into it. Because I'm not leaving on my mission until September, I'll be doing Speedgoat in July, so hopefully I'll be hitting the trails often and spending more time in the mountains. My knee was bugging a little and hurts pretty bad now, probably because I freaked it out this week jumping into running and lifting like I did, but it's happened at the start of every season since I was a junior so it'll just take a few days to work through it.
