Peace Be The Journey

Nothing big to report on the home front this week. It's been pretty uneventful after last weekends big news. I'm still training, and I'm looking forward to whatever the next few months bring. July and the beginning of August are going to be crazy busy, so I'm sorry if the posts are short and sweet. I'll try to get a video of my combine up here soon. In the meantime, I finished my video from the combine last summer for you to enjoy. (I know that this statement probably doesn't instill a great sense of confidence, but I will try to get it up soon.) Hopefully you'll have a better idea of what I do at these tryouts after seeing this video. Have a great week, and enjoy your summer! One Epic Weekend in Utah Part 1: Combine

Today was the big day. I did much better than last summer, but I'm not quite there yet. My running still needs some work, but I'm happy with my results. I had personal bests in every category. I met some new friends, and the coaches remembered me. Overall, I'd consider it a very successful day. I scored 100 more points than last summer, which puts me right under 500 points. I was 0.01 seconds from scoring on the 45m running category, and I scored in every other category. So, when I run 0.01 seconds faster, I'll already be at 550 points. That puts me just 50 points short of making the team. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Katy and Aunt Kay were there to cheer me on and take lots of pictures. I'll post them soon, so you can feel like you were there too. Caitlyn, one of the Zoom trainers whom I talked into coming, did really well. John, the trainer in charge of sports development at Zoom, came out for the morning too. Extra! Extra! Read all about it. Since I wrote...

Tomorrow's the big day. I just wanted to write a quick post to thank everyone for all your encouragement! It really means a lot that so many people are thinking of and praying for me. The combine starts at 9am tomorrow morning and should wrap up in the early afternoon. I'm really excited! I'll be sure to post tomorrow afternoon so you all know how I did. My phone tree is already pretty long, so it may be faster to read it here. Thanks for all your support!
