Well the past few days have been pretty exciting in Mammoth. On Friday I got to run with Ryan and Sara Hall, and also Josh Cox. It was a moment I will never forget. I never imagined I would be out on the trails in beautiful Mammoth Lakes running 10 miles with Ryan and Sara Hall. Oh, and I can't forget their dog, Kai. She also ran with us. Then after the run, I got a ride back to the condo with the Halls. It was pretty sweet to say I have ridden in Ryan's car. And the best part about it all, was that it was so chill and relaxed. For a while I actually forgot who it was I was talking to. We rarely talked about running. We talked about school, life, God, and so much more than running. It was awesome!
Today, we went to Yosemite National park. It was an awesome day trip! I had never been there before, so I took tons of pictures. I went for a run when I got there, had some lunch, and then decided to hike up to a nearby waterfall. The view at the waterfall was unbelievable. It was the largetst waterfall I had ever seen. The hike was very steep but it was so worth it. I can't wait for everyone to see pics. Well I'm going to get some sleep now. It has been a long day and tomorrow is my last full day in Mammoth. Its weird to say that because I have actually gotten used to living here now. I must say I will miss this place, but at the same time I am really looking forward to getting back home too. I feel like this month has been an experience I will never forget. It has been amazing, and I have loved every bit of it. I also need to get some sleep tonight, because tomorrow afternoon I am getting a max v02 test done. It should be interesting because I have never had that done before. It should be fun, but challenging at altitude. I will have a tube in my mouth, my nose pinched off, a computer hooked up to me, and I will have to run on a treadmill for atleast 10 minutes, and will have to get down to 5:00/mile pace. Alright well I'm out now, but I will see you guys all this week!!!
