I've forgotten how much i hate 800's. I was reminded today. 20 minute warmup, 2.5ish miles. 4x800 at 5k pace. I was supposed to do 6, but my knee was hurting after the third and didn't do fourth and did fifth. Not very fast times. When I was in the "B" group, i won both of them. But the "b" group is really the c group. 20 minute cooldown but i cut it short. RYan bybee gave us a lecture on lifting weights afterwards.

I would say it was a crappy first day of school. I sat by myself during lunch, and during school hours i only saw 3 people I knew. Basically the whole day i was thinking of how i could be 6 miles away and in a totally different world. I would be goofing off with my friends, telling stupid jokes, wishing about girls(tanner), and having fun. THis probably made my day 10x worse just thinking about pg, but i couldn't help it. Before today i haven't had any big regrets about choosing lp over pg, but today flipped the switch. no offense to lone peak though, i will fit in eventually, it will just take time.

You should've seen today. All of my wishes came true.

I was kind of sad that you weren't there. You should at least come hang out with us on weekends and stuff. If you won't tell us where you live, come to Ryan's house or something. Come on Saturday, cause that's usually when we do stuff.
