am- Aww yes back to running!! And back to the blog, I was busy and so I didnt blog like the whole second half of track:/ Today was just a easy 30 minute run with the usual .5 mile barefoot warm, ended up being 4 miles for the run. We had a ton of new kids show up, and i would say 80% are here to stay! That is pretty good stats compared to years past. Oh and I am a captain this year so thats dope. OH I forgot to say that today I got Gould #3 passed down to me from Paul!!! Agh such an honor to be a Gould, I will live up to the Gouldness the best I can this XC season:)

WORD OF THE DAY: to get back into the flow of my word of the days, I chose todays word to be "resuscitate". Resuscitate is to bring back to life or back from unconsciousness. Ex: I had to resuscitate my bloggingness to be able to write this sentence!

am- Today was just half and half(15min/15min), road and grass with striders after. We had a little less peeps today cause of camps and such but still a good amount. I felt real good, and yah. Kids club was dope, I am a leader over the 5th and 6th grade girls!! Wow what a crew, it was actually pretty fun, there are some quick girls in that group. Sadly though, we had a girl get pretty sick, she was completely white in the face:/ But other than that it was swell. 

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "deceive" in honor of me trying to deceive my lil' sista Karissa by yelling 'help' and then falling over on the ground from our downstairs. Sadly she never came and I ended up falling asleep for 3 hours and didn't get my ACT practice in:( Deceive is to falsely present yourself or something to another person or group of people. Ex: Kevin Love deceived everybody in the NBA Finals by continuing to play (for a little bit) after getting elbowed to the head on a rebound.

am- today was nice and chill. We went out through the dirt mile on to Grapevine but just til time turned us around. We had a nice crew, Parker is a new junior and he is looking like he will be a great runner in a month or two. Solid day though, I felt the run in my feet pretty good, but thats life so yah:)

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "apologize" cause I gotta do that for not getting the word of he day on! But no Coach it is not cause of laziness, it's cause I was helping a humanitarian project move stuff from into their trailers for the trip their taking to Mexico, and it went from 7-10pm! I think that is a good excuse for my flaw. To apologize is to admit of ones wrong doing. Ex: Lebron should probably apologize to the rim for tearing it up last night!

am- Today was pretty solid except for the fact that I slept in and got to practice at 7:03:/ the run was nice though, we just went down the road and turn left on Telegraph and did an  out and back run, 30 minutes. Strikers after and that was that! 

WORD OF THE DAY: Todays word is "forgetfulness" cause I totally forgot to do this yesterday and I also forgot to hang out with my neighbor like I told him I would:/ Forgetfulness is the act of being forgetful(which is to be prone to forget). Ex: I totally forgot that I was taking the ACT and so I had to ask the guys team if we could meet earlier than planned.

am- Today we met at Sullivans park and had a nice showing. Josh Gibby ran by and I hollered at him. What a nice guy, i could just feel the positive chi coming from him. The run was 50 minutes with a quicker finish. So we ran out into Hells Hole and turned right at the second fork to go out to the Dump. But then we got out to that road and turned left instead of going up the hill cause we were about to flip anyways. We had a solid group goin out that far, which included our new comer Grant who is beasting and feasting. Also Mikey was up there, he's a swol guy. Started the quicker finish a mile out and went like 5:45 I believe. Felt real nice, its been a while since the last hard push. I enjoyed the run, and its fun to see a good crew of freshies out here. Solid day.

WORD OF THE DAY: in honor of this crazy lady from Layton on the news, "beer" cause this lady got arrested for playing beer pong with some teenage boys. That is straight savage in my opinion. Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from fremented barley. Ex: One time my sister was driving me around and she ran over a box of beer; that was the worst smell ever.

am- So I totally slept in when I planned the run for the guys team.....so embarrassing. the run was 35 minutes, with 3x3min pickups with equal recovery. I just started running right when I woke up so I would get a run in before the ACT. I ran down on the River trail, cut back up to Maverick for the bathroom and then started going toward the Slick Rock park right off of riverside drive when my watch died. So I was in the middle of the second pickup so I just tried to count for the last minute and a half. Then I just guess when I would start again and end that last one and yah. I ended up getting 5 miles and that sounded right so yep. 

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "mathematician" because I'm pretty sure I got a 34 on the Math section of the ACT!! The other sections, eh they were alright but hopefully they are high enough so I can get the academic scholarship to SUU or even USU!! That would be the goal, USU. A mathematician is a person who uses their greatness of knowledge to solve mathematical equations and such. Ex: I didn't need to be a mathematician to calculate the amount of hate going on between Lebron and Draymond, cause thats not a measurable thing AND it was just too much!
