4 mile loop in Alpine. I felt good and wanted to push it, but everyone is getting back from their week off so they didn't want to. I did some pretty good core after I got home, and I also stretched which felt awesome. Those last few spots on varsity on going to be coveted. There are 5-6 guys that could get those spots. It's a few months away though, so anything can happen. I'm the only senoir in the mix. I'm not going to let someone take my spot when they have another year to have it. This will be the deepest and most likely best team Lone Peak has ever had, and I want to be a part of it. (Not the JV part.)

I've decided the longest i'm going to run is 11 miles in one run this summer, unless we do more in practice. Endurance is not a problem for me. It's the speed I need to work on. I will still we doing inbetween 7-10 miles a day, but the pace needs to be faster. No more run's in the 7's. Only 6's and faster. I've said this a lot, but i'm so pumped for XC this year, I need to make up for my fiasco of a junior year with some killer times.
