AM- 4 miles easy Starbucks. Pretty nice morning (meaning it's gonna be HOT this afternoon). Had 9 guys, about 5 or 6 girls, and 2 perky coaches there today. It's a great day to be a panther.

PM- 4 miles and 8x20sec sunrise hills. Felt pretty good but my legs are tired from yesterday. Semi easy day.

K I have to Controversial Cam this up today: What are your thoughts on people flying the Confederate flag?

Why do I ask this?

Today after the youngster meet at PV (where I ran a beast shot put ring), I was walking to my truck and saw that the truck parked next to me had an American flag and a Confederate Flag flying out the back... I thought to myself,"dang that's kind of stupid that that idiot is flying around a confederate flag because of what it stands for." and so I get to my truck and I notice that THE CONFEDERATE FLAG WAS GONE. I looked around and saw these dudes running away from the truck with the flag and I didn't think twice about it... I don't support flying around a Confederate flag anyways. But then I was thinking about how even though I may not like it, that guy has a right to fly his flag whenever he wants because he lives in the good ole USofA. I sat in my truck pondering these things... AND I got out and I ran around trying to find those kids for a good 20 minutes, but they were nowhere to be found and I felt super angry that they would steal this guy's flag. I walked back to my truck and the owner of the other truck was there!!! I talked to him about how I saw some kids steal his flag. He got into his truck, and PULLED OUT A BRAND NEW ONE. He said,"wow those kids will be surprised when they see me driving around with another one." He was swearing up a storm talking about how he was gonna find those kids lol but then he just drove off. Anyways, so what're your thoughts??

you have the right to fly whatever flag you want, you could fly a nazi flag if you wanted. but i don't get living in stg utah and flying a confederate flag; if you lived in the real dixie (the south) then i understand cuz thats like heritage, but here i just don't get it

Your right Sage, it is heritage... A heritage of institutionalize do racism, involentary slavery and hate. So I personally hate the confed flag and don't think anybody should be flying it. But it absolutely still their right.

@holt i agree, i think its stupid that people try to rationalize something like that as "freedom of speech" or whatever, and someone at my school flies one out of their car and i hate seeing it. but unfortunately it is their right lol

Props to you guys for thinking seriously about these things. Seriously, you give me hope.

Honestly, idk if my brain even has thoughts. I don't like being mean to each other. It is a cool design though.

I do find it dumb though that people fly that. Personally it doesn't offend me. But the fact that it does offend other people, especially african americans, and that most people accept it as a symbol of slavery and racism, it seems very idiotic to fly it.

Fly a freakin Star Spangled Banner for goodness sakes.
