Personal:

I am striving to be the best me I can be. For now, that means I'm going to college at BYU and attempting to walk on to their cross-country team for the fall. I am expecting to serve a mission following the end of the semester. My goal in life is to teach the deppressed how to geuninely smile, the anxious how to stand confident and courageous and the heartbroken and hopeless how to regain faith. The world would be a better place if more people learned how to love.

Realized I forgot my running shoes so I ran all my mileage barefoot or with spikes. Now my calves are sore.

I went into this race with attitude of, "I am going to place as high as I possibly can." I didn't end up quite where I wanted to but I'm cool with it. I stuck with Sage and Bryson cuz I thought, "It's dhills. They're ready to run sub 9:50 lets run with them, and that pack up there is filled with guys too fit for me." Stupid, stupid, stupid. I knew Sage was on a low (sorry dude) and Bryson is only a freshman (sorry dude) and I knew that I'd been feeling WAY good all week so I should've gone with that 9:30's pack. Whatevs. What's done is done. I will learn from it and move on. On the bright side I never died despite hurting like heck the first 2 laps of mile 2, and I outkicked the dhills kids and Davidson said I did what I needed to do. So now it's on to State Band, tomorrow and a serious party.

Oh and also freaking Coach John played Munchkin in my hotel room until 12:30 the night before sooooo yeaaah. Sleep is essential.
