Salt Lake, Conditioning, and TRY-OUTS!!!

This week for the first three days I went up to Salt Lake to watch my cool bro play in a basketball tournie. He did good his team got second place. It was fun to stay with my cousins. I also went to the Salt Lake Real game. They won 2-1. It was such a good game. I was cheering and screaming the whole time. It was awesome. Then when I came home I had conditioning for the high school team. It was brutal. Very hard core. I am glad I have been training hard for it or else I would have literally died. My favorite thing we did was run stairs, even though my legs are sore now. I have try-outs in three days!!! I am so nervous!!! People keep saying that I will make the team, but I am so nervous I will probably totally mess up. I hope not. I will blog again after try-outs. Also, school starts in 10 days! :( not excited. I would like to thank all the people that are giving me all the nice comments. thanks. GO DESERT HILLS THUNDER!!

Pikes Peak Tournament!!!!

It was a great week up in Colorado Springs. My team took 2nd place!!! There were a lot of hard teams but over all we did good. The first game we lost 1-0, not a good way to start off. The second game we tied 1-1. Better than last game. The third game we had to win to make it to the finals, we won 3-2, tough game and a lot of stress. So we were in the finals, the end of the second half, tied 0-0, and it started pooring rain and gusting wind. Of course the wind was in the other teams favor blowing every shot they took my way. I saved a bunch of shots, but in the end they ended up getting two lucky shots on us. So we lost 2-0. We got second place, and a sweet medal. I am excited for how we did, and glad we did so good. I was glad I went but more glad to come home. The day I got back I went to the new batman movie. It was GREAT. It was a definite see. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it now!!! The joker was a great character, but very scary!!! Cool make-up. I am going to continue training for conditioning in a week. Can't wait.

Soccer, Soccer, HOT!!

I had a two day training camp these past couple of days, to get ready for Colorado. They were pretty hard. We had two practices a day for 1 and 1/2 each. The first session had about 45 minutes of conditioning, then we did some skills which was ok. The first session wasn't very hot, just around 87, which is ok to deal with. The second session was very hot, around 102, which killed us. It was very hot. To make it hotter, we were playing on turf, which is like fire. But it was way fun to play soccer all day. I feel more prepared to go to Colorado now. It is going to take us 10-11 hours to get there. :(. I hate driving, but I think it will be worth it once I get there. There is going to be college scouts there!!! I can't wait. I am going with one of my close friends. I am so excited. 4 more days until departure, time to rest up!!!

Carlsbad!

I just got back from Carlsbad, California. It was a great vacation. We stayed at a place called the surf motel. It was way fun. The beach was great! There was a lot of people there, but it still worked out. My favorite thing to do was go boogie boarding. It was awesome. The waves were pretty big, just what I like. It wasn't as good as Hawaii, but a beach is a beach. On the third day the water was very cold, but I didn't care I still got in. We got a bunch of cool pics with our sweet new camera. I can't wait to go back there again. Yesterday I went out and biked the triathlon trail. It kicked my butt! Going up the hill I thought I was going to die. I was riding someone lse's mountain bike, with thick, thick tires, but it was ok. After that I wanted to see if I could run, I could only run about a mile. Then we went and swam after. It was a fun day, but I am sore today. Now all my cuzins are here and we are having a blast. It has been a busy, busy summer. Still to come: Soccer two-a-days for two days in a row, Colorado for a soccer tournie for 1 week, conditioning for 1 week, and then what I have been waiting for all summer-soccer try-outs.
