Well its been four days in Mammoth now and I'm loving every minute of it! I still can't get over how amazing this place is. Today we drove about 40 minutes south of Mammoth to a town called Bishop. It was located at about 4,000 feet. We went down there for the team to do a workout. We hung out down there at a park for the majority of the morning. We then drove back to Mammoth Lakes to cook up some breakfast. After breakfast I took a much needed nap. All the running and altitude sure makes you tired up here. The nap was just ok. Too many guys on the team were watching a movie and it was really loud. But oh well, it was still good to just relax and let my body rest. So this condo we are staying in is really convenient to everything, but I must say it is a little cramped in this place. There are 12 guys staying in a condo that has beds for about 9 or 10. There are a couple guys on the couch and in the floor. The condo pretty much looks like a frat house that forgot to clean up after a big party. Haha oh well. So tomorrow night should be fun. Ryan Hall, for those that don't know, is currently one of the best American distance runners. He won the Olympic marathon trials back in November and has a great shot at medaling this August in Beijing. Anyways he lives and trains up here in mammoth and is coming over to the condo tomorrow to hang out. He's going to come over and have dinner with us, speak to us, and then we are going to go to church with him afterwards. It should be a lot of fun. Don't worry I will get some pictures up very soon. Well its about 10:30 on Saturday night and I'm about to hit the bed now. Hope everyone is doing well back home. Talk to you all later!

Loved the video......I bet taking a nap at your current place is like trying to take a nap with your little nephews around.
