November

well i figure i should post sometime or another no we didnt end up making it but it wasn't that big of a deal at districts i got 65 with 17:29.5 so that was a disappointment, the main reason that sucked is that i was 3rd for my team with that place and time but whatever nobody can stop the swine.
My classes and everything have been improving a ton i have 4 A's one B and one C all in all decent grades the c is a little sad but hey it is APBio so there isnt a ton that i can do mostly since season got over my schedule dropped and i now have nothing occupying my free time but video games books and music, kinda sad that i cant motivate myself enough to pick my but off the couch. eventually im going to have to jump back into it and start running but that will be another day ;)
Seminary-school-bus-walk-hw/book/music/video games-eat-sleep-repeat
i really need to do something before i go nuts
books are good =)

Im back into the track of thinking i might do theater tech aain next year but it keeps changing like every other thing in my life right now we shall see

League

well i did it i both made it as individual to districts and i also helped to make it so my team made it as a team in pretty happy i even PD'ed with a time of 17:21 (2 second PR) and i made it through the whole season on varsity racing most of it as our #5 runner a big leap from last year(about #14 with a PR of 19:22) so im pretty much happy camper man
failing my first APBio test was a very humbling experience but the fact that the average test score was like a 55% softened that blow. Im actualy doing fairly well in my classes considering this is the first time ive ever challanged myself with harder classes i guess its just that now i have the long term perspective of things and am trying to whip my butt into gear. Photography is by far my favorite class this year actualy giving me something good to stay awake with in the mornings im still having my issues with my math class which i still find funny since im wide awake in seminaryjust half an hour before.
im not sure why but theater tech just isnt as enjoyable for mwe this year its kinda weird i mean i pretty much loved the class last year but now its just like blech ok next why are we doing this crap
o and back to running the highlight of the day, i am totaly likeing this years team its AWESOME all the sophmores are pretty tight nit so thats cool because of all the invites and just the link of our races ive gotten to know the varsity guys alot better and they are all pretty cool even though a few of them kept bouncing around their spots on the team. Im lookin forward to districts soooo much im glad that i get to go this year. i should post next saturday if we make it as a team to state. so until then

moving up

well seaside was a total and complete blast i did amazing too i got a 18:03 and 36th, 10th in my division so i even got a medal so that was tight. it was cool to watch everybody else totally drench themselves in the mudpit .
on this last meet Wednesday i made yet again another minute PR hitting 17:23 so that was awesome and with that race i moved from 7th to #5 so now im actually fairly important to the team scoring ,im lovig it though these past couple of days have been amazing ive just finally been bursting through and being able to run my heart out like never before it feels amazing and even when im running that fast i dont feel it taxing my body quite as much running that hard that fast

school has been great ive been surprised that everything is sliding together as nice as it is, photo is fun tech normally should be fun but my teacher found a way to tick me off but w/e i figured a way around that anyway, my teachers are all pretty good except for my math teacher who shouldnt really be labeled as a teacher since all she ever does is read out of the book not really teaching us much from her own intellect which is depressing its one of those classes that you can sit in the back reading a book half the time and still know it better that most of the people who were listening getting confused. all in all life is good at the moment slightly simple in some aspects hard or complicated in others im still living it up anyway.

as ive said in the past seminary is freaking amazing even if it cuts an hour of sleep out of my life its worth it life probly wouldnt be going so smooth without it.

i should post more in the next week or two but i dunno

Varsity =)

well i did it i am now officialy on varsity for now
i made it hurt like heck but i did it nearly puked too
at the last bit i ended up losing it mentaly and physicaly dropping me to 7th from 6th
i wasnt sure which way to turn so i paused for a second alowing the guy behind me to pass me and take the 6th place slot and in the end i was unable to catch him on the finaly hill
im still content with just being bottom slot varsity its higher than i was all of last year

a summery

cross country started and has been amazing, school is still out due to the fact that the school district is full of dummys that dont like being reasonable,it should start on wednesday because the district (in my mind) cheated and took it to court forcing the teachers back to school
today was pretty much my favorite practice ever because we both avoided hard work while still having a blast we had a team scavenger hunt going all around the covington area taking pictures of things with us in them to earn points it was pretty awesome
i had a fire last week with a few friends and that was pretty cool getting to spend time with everybody
lets think oh ya and i had a blast at the dance that saturday cuz i got to spend some time with people i hadnt seen in a long time
that about sums it up other than i hope school starts soon and i hope i get alot faster soon

XC camp and the times after

so pretty much i have had alot happen recently, i went to Utah for cross country camp and had an awesome time with everyone there it was an all around good experience and it should help my running the food got a little repetitive by the end but it was still good the dances were pretty much freaking awesome they were huge outdoor dances with all the sports camps and to put some perspective on that XC had over 100 people and we were one of the smallest camps and there were like 4 or 5 other camps at the dances it was awesome ,my roommate was a cool fast guy from Texas and pretty much my whole dorm group was cool, 7 peaks was pretty tight even if one of the slides scared the crap outa me cuz you got what felt like a ton of air.
The classes were good and the staff was great ,the runs were freaking awesome and it was pretty cool to run through a waterfall.
On the way back home we went to my aunt and uncles house to pick up Traci and visit with them it was good to see them and Traci after not for so long. The Rexburg temple was pretty cool looking.
and on a previous note on the way up i got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house and that was amazing being able to go through the temple and see the different parts of it.
The trip home was slightly uneventful
So this last week i got to go backpacking in the Alpine lakes wilderness area and that was amazing the mountains and lakes were beautiful except for lower wildcat that was definatly a crappy sucky place the lakes were freezing though it is nice to be back and the triple X pit stop was a good thing to have on the trip home. =)
well since then its just been kinda boring and slow paced i might race today though so that would be cool.

summer fun run

i had a run on saturday(7/11)
it was a 5K and i did pretty good i got 5th in my age group(14-18) and around 10th overall with a time of 18:58 it was awsome!
that night i had a really fun time and went to a dance and got to hang out with a friend i hadnt seen since school was in and her cousins
then today i actualy went to another XC practice and that was fun we passed a BBall while running our practice and shot some hoops along the way

Summertime

well i made it through happy dayI actualy had an awsome year i had mostly good teachers and an awsome advisor
i did ok in my sports and ended the year without regrets which is good well no thats a lie i regret that i never broke 5 ;)
I started off my summer with youth conference and that was pretty much awsome to do,we went out to a place on the coast called cornet bay for a few days the dance wasnt as good as a normal one but i still had a blast with everybody that wasnt sulkingand
now im trying really hard to actualy be prepared fo XC camp at the end of this month

=(

well i didnt hit it i PRed by a second but still i was depressed i crossed the line heard the time and was grumpy with myself i hit a 5.03 so better but not a broken 5
tracks over school only has a while left and im really looking forward to this summer

5

holy cow its been a long time since i wrote
well track season has been really good,and to explain the title of todays blog -
my goal of the season has been to hit under a five minute mile and last week i hit 5.04 cutting down my preiveious best of 5.14 to think the first day of practice the best i could do was a 6.00
and with my season coming to an end,i may or may not make my goal but i sure as heck am going to try,my coach pulled a couple of us aside yesterday and told us that he had the goal of five under fiver and that to reach that goal he needed 3 more guys to break it so i am going to try hardre than i ve ever tried before both at practice ot prepare and at my last meet of my freshman year on wednseday.

on to other topics im sooooooo glad this school year is coming to an end it beem good and all but it just felt a little off, im really looking forward to getting my family together again for Johns wedding especialy since i havent seen Jason and Tina for over a year

well im crossing my fingers for a 4.59 or better

my mind is a little better ;)

well 2nd meet was ok ...ish the shoe coming untied wasnt that great but hey we all have those days
school is being a little tough and well life is just being complicated but hey we wouldnt call it life if it wasnt
like i mentioned track is great and im really progressing
as always music is really the constant core of me and my song of the day/week (for now) is Iris-GooGooDolls

stress to the 5th power

blech i m not having fun with the whole freshman project thing and beside that life is just being stupid im probly in this mindset cuz im tiered and sore and ticked off grr well at least i have Thursdays meet to look forward to but even still well im gunna blog later when my head is actualy clear

first meet of the season

well i ran
1600(1 mile)-5.27
3200(2mile)-11.47
the mile i got 7th but well i could have done better but well nobody is perfect, next week at KR i will improve that one.
3200 made me look bad but i still ran well post more later

blech i hate WASL!!!!!!even if im not taking it

well im not even taking the WASL and its being its evil self to me im stuck in a computer lab for 3 hours just so that they can keep us out of the new building grrr i hate wasl it sucks well i signed up for my classes but im not sure if im doing the ones i need to.....grrr...at least seminary was good so ya HAIL HURTS really bad we were doing 2 sets of 3, 600 meters so 36 meters total if i did the math right (not likely)
well ya tracks good i might get to race this week but im not sure if i dont my first race will be the race that we are going against Kentridge.

life

so i haven't blogged i a while due to distractions school books running and other stuff but i decided that i should post something to update everyone on my life, well i finished the semester, i actually made it fairly well too, the only disappointment was English.....the c.......one single c........and it is the reason that this march i will not be enrolling in drivers ed it sucks but hey i will live, i only have to get through this quarter, i realized when talking to some old friends really how much it sucks not to see someone for a long time, I'm planning on going up to Utah this summer for a cross country camp it should be a blast .... and enough to get me fast enough to bump me onto varsity this next year , well moving on from that Ive had a fun time in theater tech still, defiantly my favorite class,the one bad thing about living where i do is that i can never get where i want to with my runs cuz everything is too far away.
well i guess i will type more later.

January

well its a new year,school starts back up on monday and should be nice to get back and escape from home, funny i spend the whole time at school wanting to be home and when im at home i spend the whole time wanting to be at school , then there is when im running, i always want to be there =)
i havnt really been able to find much time to go and ive been too lazy the days i actualy have the time
track is getting really close , i miss running with my team,should be good
im planning on doing either the 800,1600, or the 3200, or a combo of two of them, well time will tell......
