Sleep deprivation is killing me already and my legs are stiffer than they've been in a long time from 8-ish hours in a car (to and from the semi-final football game in SLC - it was worth it, we won!) and the sleep that I did mange to get wasn't very restful. Also took a long nap under Holt's desk during 4th period instead of going to our dress rehearsal for tomorrow's concert that I'll be missing. Very groggy and stiff on the run. My left hamstring was really stiff, so I decided to go really easy again, esp. at the start as to not aggravate the issues it had earlier this year. It was still kinda sore throughout the run, but hopefully it'll continue to loosen up. Went out Green Springs then looped through the desert to Middleton and back to the HS. Avg. 8:35/mi. (Alchemy 300)

It's because I ditch a lot!!! ;) About sleeping under the desk- Holt's class was in the computer lab and I didn't want people to see me sleeping and harass me for it if they came in looking for Holt. So I hid. :)

At 11am on Friday- I hope to go, but I'm missing Mon-Wed for some college visits, so I might not be able to miss Friday too.
