We had practice at 8 this morning, and I had some blood drawn at about 7:25. I still went to practice, and it sucked. I should have waited until tonight to run. The run was super boring because it was on roads the whole time. I migth run more later if I feel better.

Ryan said that I can do the timp trail half at the end of may! It's an extremely slow course, as you gain almost 3,000 feet during the run, and it's pretty technical in spots. Only 13 guys did that half marathon last year, and if it's like that this year, I should have a good chance of winning! My uncle is doing it too, so it will be a blast!

4 later. I felt really good. When I run twice in the same day, it's weird how different I feel sometimes.  Averaged a 6:05.

You're a lone faithful.

Want to hike today? I know it's short notice, but the weather's supposed to be really good today.
