2 mile warmup with the team, and I got my spikes on for the cut-down race when my coach came up to me and said I couldn't practice with the team yet because the health department wanted to clear me for activity themselves because of all the health stuff that happened last track season... so that was lame. It was cool to watch I guess. I finished up miles later with Joe. Hopefully I'm clear to be at practice tomorrow because I saw the doctor today and got everything figured out. Hopefully it's processed tomorrow.

The first full day in Idaho was a success. The guys I'm living with are awesome so I'm looking forward to this year. It's a relief to finally be here after stressing about it for so long.

Also, the gear Adidas gave us is sweeeeeet. A lot of clothes, and a bunch of shoes!

10 miles alone this morning. I'm still not cleared for practice so hopefully that's taken care of tomorrow. I showed myself around town and even checked out our XC course. My legs are super super heavy, I'll really focus on eating well today.

I still couldn't practice with the team today so I sat in the van while they did their run. I did 4 at about 9pm with them and then 2 on the treadmill.

Good news though, I FINALLY got cleared for practice just in time for mile repeats tomorrow morning lol

BIG shoutout to all the skyridge homies who had their first meet today!

Speed today! The workout was changed from 5x1500 with 100m jog in between to 5x1000m with 600m @6:00-6:10 in between. Still pretty brutal. My paces for the 1k's were 5:09, 5:12, 5:32, 5:32, 5:30. Paces for the rest were 5:43, 6:07, 6:21, 6:20, 5:52. It's crazy how easy 6 flat feels right after going fast. I stuck with Ricky and Garrett (the two other freshmen) for the first couple and fell off them about 30m, but I caught back up at the end so that was good. 5:43 average for 5 miles so I'm happy with it.

8 miles up this really funky trail with the guys, there were some crazy switchbacks. Felt pretty crappy but it was a good time.
