Not a very good run today. I felt kinda loopy(I didn't do any drugs this morning, I think).  As of now, I'm figuring that i'm the 10th guy on the team. It's still the beginning of the summer, so i can make up ground. Of the guys that are close to making varisty, it will be the hardest for me because: 1) i'm the slowest of them right now, 2) i'm going to be gone a lot during the summer. Runs by myself tend to go better though, which is kinda weird. I can make it though, and really the only chance of making it is getting much more mentally strong, which is definitely not a strong point for me. I feel like i'm usually in at least decent shape, but mentally i can't push it hard.

was bored later so I did a solid core workout consisting of 120 pushups, 120 situps, and other "fun" stuff. I'm on the lone faithful list and i've had 4 comments today. Weird.

Wanna go later in the evening today? We could go on a sick nighttime mountain run!
