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

Was probably longer, but i don't know for sure. I think i've lost my watch, which isn't good. First half downhill, 2nd up. I think i averaged just over a 7:30. The only thing different from my old blog is the blog name. My last blog was "spencesmith". My new blog name in honor of my PLeasant grove friends is "spankysmith".

Went to PGHS cause i had to talk to the driver's ed teacher, and on the way out i ran into zac slater. felt good to see an old face. Also saw tyler penrod, and he called me a traitor. But, my brother calls me a traitor every day. Zac said that PG is gonna be better than last year, but i had already figured that out. He asked about LP's team. And I said if i told him, he would haft to die. just kidding, i told him we have a amazing top 2, good top 4, but our 5th man is where were gonna struggle.

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.

8 minute warm-up, 2 games of tag, 8 minute cooldown. I didn't get caught in the first game, but Zach R. was on my heels for close to 100 yards. Luckily, i'm actully not a bad sprinter. Second game was caught by galen and craik. I had just been chased down bt lil warner, jamison, and jacob jensen, i dodged craik for a second and gave up. I'm such a loser.

Instead of only seeing 3 people i knew today, i saw 12! At this rate, i should know everbody in the school. In a 7 more school days.

2.5 milw warmup at a 7:09 pace. A little fast, i think i would have done a little better if he did it shorter. 4x600 meter hill repeats. Didn't do the third because of my knee, did 4th and fifth. Okayish times, for me at least. Hot outside, but not crazy. ice bath afterwrds. Got my first Lone Peak shirt today.

no clue on the exact mileage, but i know it was at least this far. Went on the BST. Great running weather until the wind came. THe last part jacob jensen and i ran down cedar hills drive. When we were going by ithe roundabout i ran into my brothers. THey were just at the snow cone shack, and they came me the rest of theirs! nice after run snack.

had youth conference in the morning so i didn't go to morning practice. Haven't run yet today, and don't plan to. I ran 3.8 or so miles last week, and just under 25 this week. Don't want to go up too much. just found out solider hollow was today. It's my favorite course and i'm super bummed Lone Peak didn't do it.  Debating wether going to the black light dance tonight or not. Seems really fun, but i don't know anyone, and dancing by yourself is super aquard. Especially on the slow dances! :)
