Personal:

I'm a junior at Hurricane High School. I love music. I sing in the chamber choir and I play the piano and the guitar. Other sports that I love include basketball, soccer, and racquetball. By the way, if anyone's up for a game of racquetball, I'm game! Anyways, gotta run...

Race: Freedom 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:15:54, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 2

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.00	3.10	5.10

Jogged a mile with Hayden and Joe before the race and my hip wasn't hurting at all. Started the race with hundreds of people. I was behind a lot of people at the first but quickly got through to the front and hung there with about 10 guys for about 2 miles. Then it was just 5 high school runners in a pack at the front. I caught up to the first two on the hill and thought I could take them in the last stretch. But Jonathan Nielson from Timpview took off and beat me by 6 seconds. I got 2nd and Steve Morrin, a sophomore at Lone Peak got 3rd just 3 seconds behind me. Hayden got 4th in the 10k and Joe got 13th I think. Jogged a mile cool down afterwards. My hip didn't bother me at all during the race but afterwards it was killing. I'm going to rest it this weekend and see how it feels monday.

good job bud. Hope the hip is ok. We need to go on a run sometime this week so give me a call.

Karl, how is your hip doing? Did you see who is running on the USA team at DesNews? It includes Bobby Nichols. Do you remember him? When USATF regionals were in Provo a few years ago he took third in the 3000m and you, Thatcher and Neal were right behind him. Now he is a Footlocker finalist and you guys get another shot at him!
