Since my late update (which Jared would say would be a lifetime ago) A lot has happened. Today was the last day of boot camp! Hurray, I survived! Before I get to know if I made it our not I have to take the QUAD test on Thursday. This consists of the standing long jump, triple jump, 30m dash and the shot-put throw. My goal is to get 125-130 pts. to make the team, or at least beat my start of boot camp mark which came to a total close of about 102. Hopefully after a month of running, strength training, more running and hard work and practice, and oh yah, more running I can prove I can do it. But if not, I feel accomplished at surviving Boot Camp, something I wasn't sure I could do at the start. And I had "fun" on the way... that is if your definition consists of feeling good after accomplishing hard work and dressing up silly for friday weight training workouts. Here are some team pictures of our fun:
Bootie Show! (Sep.18)
"Hair" Day! (Sep.25)
Football Day! (In honor of todays BYU vs. Utah Game-Oct. 1)
What can you do for a fun get to know you activity on your day off? How about take a hike on a Saturday morning up to Steward falls! This is most defiantly a track team when our idea of a day off is hiking up a mountain. But is it not pretty? It has lots cool views of other mountains, and the leaves had already changed color so it was an especially beautiful sight. (Sep 19)
One of the cool things I got to do because I am with the track team is go to the "Y" games. Basically this is a completion to see what team can attend the most "Y" games of all the different sports. The idea is to unify the athletic department by getting athletes to support other athletes. It was pretty cool. The football game vs. Colorado was this years football "Y" game. First there was a BBQ and then we all got to go out onto the field and be I got to be out apart of the tunnel as the players ran out. I also got to take a picture with Cosmo, the school mascot. It was hot, I sat up in the north stands for this game with some friends on the track team. Here are some pictures from this experience: (Sep. 26) Other cool things I have done since my last update is go to True Blue, an event sponsored by BYUSA. (Sep. 23) It was pretty fun sliding down and playing in a massive pit of blue foam. I will have to post pictures of that event later because right now no one has posted these pictures on facebook, and I don't have my cord to download pictures... not that it would help for this even because I forgot it :( 
Well, Jared I hope this mass amount of pictures and update satisfy. Until next time...
Good job on the post. I like the amount of pictures. It sure seems as if you are having quite a fun time down there at BYU. I wish we were closer. As always, I look forward to following your blog.
