You don't need to run every day to be a runner

Just a nice and easy 4 miles this morning mostly with my good friend Spencer King.

Balled later with the Lehi and PG homies. We played for a while and it was such a good time. Shoutout to Asa and Connor cuz they're beasts and going to be great missionaries. Hopefully I'll see you once I'm there in a week.

No running today because my hip kinda hurts from basketball yesterday. I did a workout that I'm going to be doing a lot of on my mission. 100 jump ropes, 20 pushups, 50 reps of some kind of abs, then a minute plank, then a minute rest then repeated it a few times. I'm not in good shape for this kind of stuff so it was pretty rough.

Hiked to Pittsburgh lake this morning with some friends. Zack was gonna come but he likes his bed more I guess. It was super fun amd the lake wasn't even cold, went for a nice swim. I realized this was probably the last time swimming in a high mountain lake for the next 2 years amd it was sad. Might run some later but probs not.

Midnight hike to horsetail falls with Jake Jensen. It was a last minute thing and it was super fun.

4 easy miles with Zack on Bonneville starting at my house. The sun had set so the temp felt pretty good to me. Fun run, going to miss these night runs.

Super fun run today. Ryan said the team was supposed to do flat stuff but he said I could do Hogs cuz it's my long run today. It was such a good time, really going to miss that trail. Shoutout to the porta potty at the top cuz idk what I would have done without it. On the way down ran into Josh so that was sick. We turned around and went with us. Stopped at sliding rock and did that for probably the last time cuz it'll probably be closed when I get back so that was sad. Ice bath after which felt amazing and sadly is probably the last one before the mish. Pancakes at Jakes after and they were definetily better than the waffles at Justin's lol.

Last post for the next 2 years. I don't get set apart till tomorrow night but I've decided to do away with my phone today. We ran to the pond and played tag and based on the amount of scratches I have, it was a good time amd it definetily was. On the way back the top guys put some distance on me but they're in much better shape than me so I'm okay with it. Kicked it in the last half mile and it hurt, but felt really good at the same time. Won't blog about it but I'm doing extended mountain run tomorrow.

Running has been such a blessing in my life. It has helped me get through rough days when nothing else could. Running has brought lot's of happiness into my life, but it doesn't even compare with the happiness that the gospel brings. Heavenly Father and Jesus love us very much and want us to be happy. With the power of the Atonement, we can be happy. I know the book of Mormon is true and I can't wait to share it with the people of Massachusetts and surrounding states.

I wish you all good luck with your health, faith, happiness and running.
