am- 12 miles/ 90 min with strong finish. Today we did the long run out on that one ATV trail and out to the highway. I felt really good the whole run actually. I did get a little tired at about 75-83 minutes but then I tired to focus on my form and that helped me forget about the pain. Great run and freakin Carson is a beast!! that guy is gonna be tearin' it up this xc season!

pm- 3.5 miles/ 30 min E. Easy run out past the lake and Carson, Corbin, Logan, Tanner and I saw a dead deer. It was gnarly. And the run ended at the lake so we hopped in and it was really nice.

am- 8.35 miles/ 65 min long hills. Wow what a run today was. So today was the long hill run where we run up and up and up the road. Coach was happy with us cause we had 10 people go farther than where Nick did last year. So that was kewl. I was right up in the front with Nick, Preston and Alex til 32 minutes but I didnt fall off far, just 15-20 meters. Good run but I am really tired now.

pm- 5.5 miles/ 43 min E. So the afternoon run was at a lookout and the boys ran further up the road which ended up taking us to the top of the mountain. And so we basically did another hill run. But it was all worth it because at the top and when we needed to flip around, there was a huge radio tower. And yes it had a ladder. and yes we did climb up it to the first cat walk. And yes we left a camp shirt up there. It was legit. Scary but legit.

am- 6.7 miles/ 50 min E. Last run of camp and we went out over to the ATV trail from tuesday but turned a different way and then turned back so we didnt have to go up another mountain. Instead we went on a kewl ATV trail around the lake and back through the foresty stuff. It was a great trail.

am- 5.75 miles/ 45 min E. I was really sluggish. I am just pooped from the hardcore hill stuff.

pm- 3.85 miles/ 30 min E. A little better, but the air is freakin' smelly as a garbage filled with sweaty bums and poop. I miss the clean air up on the mountain.
