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.

I couldn't get on to the BYU course becuase some team was on it and the track was packed. My dad and I ended up at a soccer field complex a block west of the stadium. There was a gradual uphill the last 400 meters of each repeat. The first one was pretty tiring and the second hurt a lot so I backed off and just kept things as comfortable as possible for the third and fourth and then allowed myself to feel a bit more pain on the last. I was never going close to all out. I tried to keep things as consistent and relaxed as possible. Solid workout for being on wet grass and no downhill to help out. It was way early too and it's usually hard for me to have a good early morning workout.

Great Workout! I agree, I struggle in the mornings to get moving which is why I always save my tough workouts for the afternoon...some day I will have to change that but hopefully not soon :) Also congrats on Tuesday!
