am- 8.5 miles/ SUU Invite, warm cool and striders (1/2 uphill, 1/2 downhill). Great day for running in Cedar, thats for sure! I was really feeling pretty nice and health and ready to go. The race starts and I got out and over to make room for our team and we got out great. Going up the loop and back down we sat on the back of the line of the top 10 dudes. We waited way to long to pass Boston so everybody seem to fall off again. So Nick and I just surged on and passed Boston, and then the last lap Nick surged ahead but I stayed pretty close. I got in front of Bryson at about 200 meters before the top of the park? Somethin like that. Then on the finish straight-away he got me. I coulda passed him back but my bananas were starting to come up and so I was balancing the elements;) Great race, and lots of fun! I gotta shirt so I was happy. 

WORD OF THE DAY: the word is "reading" because that is all I am gonna be doing this year. I got 4 classes which require me to read everyday so it is gonna be a tough year. Reading is the process of intaking information through text using your eyeballs. Ex: I was reading all night to be ready for the first AP psychology test the next day. 

Goals for next week: Stay healthy by taking my vitamins and stuff, get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, stay on top of my reading homework for APUSH and AP psych, and most importantly, have fun and find "joy in the journey".
