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

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

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.
