Boring New you might not want to read

My phone fell out of my pocket and was ran over by a car. I think I can transfer the card to a new phone, but there are no T-Mobile stores within my reach.

Also I did an big endurance race today, it’s called the Swank 65 and had a blast. I didn’t know how much faster I had become here so I this race as a gauge.
I got 8th overall !! Out of roughly 130 guys.
I felt super strong, and the course was super technical. Farlow Gap trail is like the hardest section of Young’s Gulch, covered in 3 inches of leaves, for a good 3 or 4 miles. I felt like I was “Shredding the Gnar”, so to speak. The course was Taylor Made for me, absurdly long hard fire road climbs and crazy technical downhills.
I was hoping to recoup my entry fee, but I just won some cool sunglasses, which is good because mine are very scratched. The only thing that could have been better was if I had more food, the aid stations were not equipped sufficiently. They were supposed to have HEED and food. But I did the whole race on 1 gatorade bottle, 3 waterbottles, a gel, and a soy bean brick. Yuck. I was luck the race was relatively short because I was about to hit the wall HARD.
Also my wisdom teeth are coming in so I should get them out when I am home for x-mass.
 Also I need to research LASIK, or get a new eye exam and new glasses. They are getting so scratched that I can’t see anything when the sun is facing my eyes. Its just a ball of blur, of orange and yellow, it’s beautiful.

    I enjoy all your news, nothing is boring to me. Lasik costs a lot but it sure is nice to not have glasses or contacts. But I thought your blur story was funny.
