Hawaii: Day One

WARNING: SO MANY PICTURES!!!!!!

Yesterday was my first day in Hawaii for the band trip. Well it wasn't much of a day.My group didn't arrive here until six pm, which is 11pm at home. The jet lag wasn't too terrible, though I really have nothing to compare it to since Yellowstone was just an hour or two behind. We left the high school at five in the morning and rode a charter bus down to the Minneapolis Airport. I was dead asleep on during the bus ride. I was so tired! Instead of sleeping that night I went to a yay-we're-going-to-Hawaii-party. It was a good time.



The airport was something new. The last time I was on a plane I was two, so this was pretty interesting!
Some random airport pictures:



I was tired. Don't judge me.

This made me think of Sergeant Nelson and I found incredibly funny

Sara and I duking it out in checkers

They have Ipads at the airport for use!!


Then came the plane ride. I was so excited because I got window seat! Though I freaked my mom out, when I called her. She told me to call her before we took off and so I did. Well, I was about to hang up when she told me to have fun. I guess she didn't like that I replied with "I will, unless the plane crashes and hung up.

She didn't exactly know I was taking that picture...


And those are my roommates

Did I mention that I hate heights?





















We had a layover at the L.A.X airport, and then we were off to Hawaii! It was a five hour flight and for the last two hours Sara Vienna and I played Spot It.






I found this to be kinda neat



We were so bored



HAWAII!! 
One last look at our plane

Ya, we're still at the airport



That's a pretty sweet tree!




The bus ride to our hotel:






Would you believe the gas prices?!




Right after we got to the hotel we left and walked to dinner. The hotel by the way is open. The entire first floor is just open there's no walls. But you can't get to the other floors unless you have a key. Dinner:

Proof that he wears shorts!

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,

First distance run in awhile...

KJ was gone today because of the Elite meet, and so he left us with a workout and put Amber in charge. Amber is a student at the college studying to become a physical educator  She's almost, but not quite, an assistant sprinting coach.  Some pictures from the Elite meet. Courtesy of KJ: The workout was just 4 laps with 100 yrd sprints on the straightaways, 10 100s with 40 second rests between. The weight room was locked and since Amber isn't an official coach she doesn't have a key and we couldn't workout. I don't think anyone was sad. That was the earliest the girls sprint team has ever finished. Usually we're the last ones there, because KJ just talks and talks. I decided that since I haven't really been training for the half-marathon well at all since track started that I should probably go for a run. Start gathering some miles up. WORST IDEA EVER, actually that's a lie. I've had worst ones. Like working out with Nick. I
