Back to Sea Level, Olympics, and HS season starts up.
We ended up spending just under 2 weeks at Mammoth. It was a great trip. Got in lots of good training and it was a welcome break from our pretty mundane life. Running somewhere different was also a big plus. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel the altitude as much as I thought I would. This is…

I’m back out in California, except this time I’m up in Mammoth Lakes for 10 days (or more if by some crazy chance someone reading this is staying up here and wants to let us bum on the floor…) We drove up here on Sunday and it took a little while longer than we hoped.…

While most head to the beach for a nice relaxing or raucus week of fun, I headed home for a week of tough training. This was the last week before the outdoor season officially starts. Add in the fact that I had no school and you get a very tough week of work. I had…
Read MoreSpecial Block and Graduation.
First off, I finally got the news that I WILL graduate…yay…. This is big news because I had to do a whole lot of petitioning and arguing to get classes I took at Rice to count as transfer courses. Don’t ask me why it was so difficult, but it was. It was a huuuuuuge hastle,…
