Woke up at 4:45 to be at the school for mascot bowl stuff. We got our ref shirts, were on the news, I got to hang with chicken nugget and some sick mascots, ate some donuts. I'd call it a success. 

3 miles and then two miles of speed changes on the turf. Other than the turf being 100 degrees it was a fun time. Then finished to 9. Went to go ice bath but it was off so me and ole sami #womancrushtuesday? went to get powerballs at thoms and I destroyed her in tramp basketball

Went to the first ever Alpine School Districts captains academy. Joe, Jamison, Peyton, Jared Slye from PG and James Lewis from Westlake were there. It was a really fun time hanging out some guys I already knew and got to meet some new guys. They had kneaders pasteries when we got there and then chick fil a for lunch and the speakers were good so it was sick.

Garison ran part of his miles and was back at the high school so we ran together for 2 miles and had an awesome talk about life and stuff. Then we stopped by the spinny park and stretched and talked more about life. Then he went back and I headed towards mt. ridge jr high. It was a good run, a little hot at the start. Legs felt good, 7:05 avg.

Hey guys. We just stopped at Asa's house and are hanging lol, so I got a couple miles in and its feeling pretty good so far. When I get home i'll get back to you. 

So we played football and jumped on the tramp at asa's house for a while and then we headed back to the high school cuz no one else needed miles. I ran around the overpass by pioneer crossing and got some extra but didn't want to run around any more.

solw real quick and then went to the math club competition with dallin and the twins. It was sick. I did like a problem and then had some pizza and won the movie Three Amigo's and some coke. We had some fun on snapchat on the way home and at the high school. I ended up getting coke in my hair and that was not fun. Then Dallin came to my house and we played 5 games of ping pong and I won 3-2 :) it was so fun. Now I gotta go pack for firman.

AM: 3 miles on redwood before heading to the school. 

PM: Bus ride up was sick. Got to the course and warmed up 1.5 around then ran the course. Then did like a 600 at race pace. Then we hung out with ol Holt and the pv babes haha. I didn't recognize holt at first cuz he had a sweet head of hair on him. He said he was trying to be like me and I was so hyped. Good talk with them, it was cool actually meeting them for the first time lol.

Got a decent sleep. Shout out to my parents cuz we got to the course and they bought me a sweat shirt and new spikes cuz i kinda lost mine. I needed new ones so it wasn't super bad. 2 mile warm up, strides, drills, whatevs. We were on the left side of the thingy, or the inside so that was good. I got a good start. I was really nervous tho, I couldn't open my stride that much or someone would clip me and i'd possibly get trampled cuz it was packed. First mile was 4:58. Relaxed. Within stricking distance. Second mile was good. Moved up. 5:13. Good but just a tad slower than I would like it to be. It was pretty fun hearing corbin talley screaming at his davis guys cuz me and ryan were passing all of them lol. Third mile was 5:06 for a 3 mile pr of 15:17. Was around Garret Barton and Travis Feeny for some of this. Closed on them before the beach, then kinda backed off. Got on the grass, closed. Backed off on the hill. Then me and ryan passed them on the top. Had a good kick but the u-turn sucked. Finished in 15:43, 2 spots behind joe benson cuz he passed a guy right before the end. 9th place. Really fun race. From sophomore to junior year at this race I cut off 37 seconds. From junior to senior year i cut off....wait for it..... 37 seconds.   

We were the 2nd team to get 2 runners in, behind timp. We were the 2nd team to get 3 runners in, behind great oak. We were the second team to get 4 runners in, behind timp. It was just our 5th and back didnt have good days so we ended up 4th. Only 12 points off of timp for first place, and only 7 points off of davis for third place. 

Shout out to Guppy for beating Aubrey Argyle! She got 12th. 

Shout out to Pine View for getting 5th as a team!
