Personal:

My Mom donated half of her liver to me when I was 6 months old. I have now taken care of it for 24 years. I hope to do so for years to come.

I served a mission for my church in Fort Worth, Texas speaking Spanish 15'-17'.

Run at Jeremy Ranch! This is THE prime location for the long run. I ran really well. I felt great. When I told my Mom how it went she mentioned that run really well on longer runs. She said that maybe I'm not a 5k guy. Maybe i'm a longer distance runner, like 13.1 and 26.2. I'm kindof thinking she might be right. Even if she IS right It isn't going to change my look at 5k's and Cross-Country. 

More on longer distances: 

1. I feel i'm too young to run a marathon. Not that i'm uncapable of running 26.2 miles but that it could damage my growth as a runner if I race those distances at 17 years old.

2. Also I want to have fun. A marathon doesn't really sound THAT fun.

3. My focus is my brothas on the team not individual running. I don't care if I break 16. But if it will contribute to my brothas success. I'm so down for the challenge.

XC Season Goals:

-Top 5 @Pleasant Grove

-Top 5 @Nebo This one will be a Challenge, we will need a really great race out of everybody. We took 8th last year and we've beat some teams that were in the top 5 and lost to some that were above that. This will be a tough race.

Focus on XC and track and then maybe run a 1/2 next summer and see how it goes. I bet you'd do well... but I also think you'll do some damage at 5K/1600/3200 first. There's nothing wrong with running some longer races, when the timing is appropriate and it doesn't interfere with team goals.

ps. it's more fun than it sounds... kind of :-)
