So I wrote this last week and ended up forgetting to post it. It's a questionnaire I decided to create, using a couple of other ones for ideas. I'll put a blank copy at the end in case you want to fill in your own. 1. How long have you been running? I probably started running consistently at the beginning of 2012, maybe earlier. 2. What’s your favorite distance to run at a time? For some reason, I like 2 miles at a time. But when I get in better shape, I think 4 miles is a great distance. 3. How many times per week do you run? It hasn’t been very consistent lately. I try to include running in every workout, so 3-5 days per week. I did 4 days last week. 4. How far do you run in one week? That also depends. I ran 8 miles last week. I’d say 4-8 miles on average, when not training for a race. 5. What is the longest distance you’ve ever run? 13.1 baby! 6. What’s your average pace per mile? About 10:40. Sometimes slower, depending on hills, wind, energy, etc. But 10:40...

We left on Friday just after noon, Utah time. Our ride was pretty uneventful. We didn't stop at all until Mesquite, where we got gas. We stopped in Baker to get In-N-Out and stretch a little. We got home at about 8:30, California time. Our first day in town, Saturday, we went to Wal-Mart because I wanted to run, and Patrick forgot his arm band for his iPhone. So we hung out outside for a little while after running. Then dad asked if we wanted to do a late breakfast. Well it was already lunch time. We went to Peppertree Cafe--Jason, Kellie, Jake, Therese, Jared, Dad, Patrick, and I. I got lunch: a club sandwich and some onion rings. Patrick got a breakfast burrito. It was really fun just chatting with everyone. The weather was great. I don't know what else we did that day, but I don't think it was much. Just hung out and talked, probably. On Sunday, we got some donuts and Starbucks. We went to the singles ward with Ashleigh. It was SO good to see some people, esp...

Sometime last school year, I had a teacher at my school cover the last half of my 4th period class. She commented on how well my students knew what to do. She was very impressed. Earlier this week, I received an email from that same teacher. She informed me that some first year teachers would be coming to our school to visit. They asked her to make some recommendations of teachers who had great procedures. She told me that she immediately thought of me because my class "could run itself," and asked if they could come observe me. I was flattered that she thought of me. I regretted to informed her that I had no students during the period that they'd be at our school. I told her the periods that I do teach in case they could observe one of those. On Thursday, during my 3B, in walked four teachers. Two of them were first-year teachers, one was their adviser, and I'm not sure who the fourth was. They sat in the seats that are against the wall as that is my smallest c...
