I'm back!!! So today at about 3 in the afternoon I flew into St. George after serving 2 years as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Chile. It was such an incredible experience. I love the chilean people and I was sad to have to end my missionary service, but I'm glad to be back with my family in this beautiful city that I love so much! After being released by my stake president, I went with my family to eat dinner, then decided to go see the team run their michigan workout at the high school. It was great to see those guys and run a little bit with them. I ran their 2.5 mile warm up with them and was able to talk to Coach and some of the guys. The team looks good this year, and there are some great runners who have really stepped up since I've been gone. Well they were finishing their workout and I decided to try and race them on their last 400. HAHAHAHAHA! Man, for the first 100m, I thought I was in pretty good shape, then at about 200m I lost my lungs, then at 300m I lost my legs, and I don't think my knees were coming up very high those last 100m. Haha, but it was fun, even though I almost threw up my dinner. I'll get back into shape slowly but surely. It's good to be back!
