Air soft wars, "semi famous people" and generousity

Okay, the title is a lie. There's only one air soft war that's being talked about in this blog. I'm sorry for the deceit :'(

Today a bunch of us went to my friend Jacob L.'s house for an airsoft war. This is pretty amazing because non of us even knew where he lived, he suggested it, and he rarely joins us for get togethers. We were all pretty excited to go! We spent the first hour just messing around with the guns and laughing at Sara because she literally knew nothing about how to use them. Then his dad said there was food, and I was really hungry from track practice, so I look at Autumn and she looks at me. We both put down our guns and got food. It was kinda awkward because we don't know Jake's family and we kinda just walked in without him. 

  • The air soft war was like all airsoft wars. Everyone running around trying to not to get shot while trying to shoot someone else. Somethings that were different were:
  • Jacob wound up on the roof at one point and I assume trying to snipe people with a pistol seeing how he didn't have either of the two rifles.
  • I was hit IN the mouth. Ricocheted off my tooth and everything.
  • Calvin got hit in the face with the CO2 pistol by Autumn, who happens to be his girlfriend. There was some blood
  • I slid into the ditch
  • The German exchange student is totally boss at airsoft wars
  • Jake is very sneaky!!
Then afterwards we all just hung out for a couple hours, before heading home. It was a good day!

"semi famous people"

The Jacob Fannin house concert was cancled, but I've still been talking to Jacob, you know asking questions and what-not. I'm kind of a question asker, and frequently learn total strangers' life stories! :) I told Jacob L. that I was talking to Jacob Fannin again and this is part of the conversation that then transpired:
10:39pm
Jacob L.
awesome weird



I don't really talk to a lot of famous or  semi-famous people. Just 2 or 3 maybe 4. I don't know, it just kinda happens!!


Generousity, This past year I have come to realize how kind and generous people in my life are. I mean they should be recognized or something. Not just for the things they do for me, but what they do for the community, for the ways they enrich the lives of others around them. That's what the world needs, more people like them. Thank you for everything you have done, you help make the would a better place one person at a time.

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...

Ummmm......YOLO??

[editor's note: this was actually like two weeks ago, I just hadn't published it] So yesterday we had our second outdoor meet, which was like our fifth meet overall, and it was, ummmm, interesting to say the least. It was really fun, it didn't even feel like an actual meet because it was just so fun. Oh, FYI there'll be a couple random pictures that have nothing to do with yesterday, I just wanted to share them. Though at the same time there'll be some from yesterday. Keep your eyes open and see if you can tell the difference, cause you probably will be able to. It's really not that hard. This is my life Screen shot this gem off of SkierSayWhat First of all, I didn't sleep at all Monday night. Not a freaking wink. I was up all night talking with Max about things that should've been talked about awhile ago, and getting advice/being all philosophical with Tyson, oh and snap chatting Autumn. Then they all eventually went to bed, Max was the last one ...

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...
