My summer is almost over. My winters start on August 1st. That’s when we head to NZ and start to train and from there its pretty much non stop. I always try to get as much in when I’m home and I always try to do something new. I could be trying to do new things for the rest of my life and still have a list when I’m old here in Jackson, because there are so many things to do!

I went on a solo hike mission up to Lake of the Crags which was so cool. Its like this steep scramble to a beautiful secret little nook up in the mountains and you feel like you are on top of the world! It was great to go and do by myself because I had so many things flowing through my head. Its always so hard when you are training for something and want to stay in one place and focused. I always want to travel and see the world, but maybe its not always the best idea. Maybe its important to stay in one place for a little bit and build instead of jetting off somewhere no matter how much it kills me to stay. My dad told me when you are training for something special the best way to do that is stay peaceful, quite around you and good energy. Lately I have been doing a lot on my own or with my family so that has been peaceful and I dont mind skipping out on night life activities and getting lots of sleep and just doing my thing. Its fun to be in the zone.
