My name is Carson Horspool and I like to party. I'm a Senior at Pine View High School in St. George Utah. Captain of the Cross Country team. I’m 18 and a good kid and have a great life because I make good choices.. most of the time. Love competing and Track and Cross country are perfect examples of competition.

90 minute long run + 25 afternoon

2-1-3-2-1-2 pickups with 5 minute recovery in between each rep. Towards end of run

Nice dope long run. Coach talked about being dedicated and hard working in the morning during the run and then we had a meeting right before practice and he shared a quote from Pre that says "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." I've heard this quote plenty of times because I love Pre and I'll probably marry him in the afterlife or something. But anyways... It really comforted me, but worried me at the same time. I know for a fact that I am all in when it comes to my effort in running. I want to go somewhere in life because of running, so I give it everything I've got. What worries me is the fact that there are so many others who say the same thing, but they really don't care. They slack off on workouts or do stupid things that prevent them from running their best. I'm going to start taking a stand against idiocracy and start holding my teamates accountable. I know I want to succeed, but I'm not sure if everyone else does.
