Personal:

My mother forced me to start running as a freshman in high school.. and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually ended up liking it. Graduated from Pine View High School in 2013 and, after a yearlong hiatus, I am now running again, this time for USU, where I'm working on a composite Elementary Ed/Deaf Ed major.

25 minute warm up with Heather, Sydney, & Megan. Wasn't much of a warm up though because it was freezing and I was colder when I got back than when I started. Fun thing though, we passed Corey running the opposite way. He said "hi JP!" and I said "hey Corey!" and that was it. Then we got back & had a freaking workout. I was like "..uh.. did you know we're racing this weekend?" But whatever. We did 6x100 at :16ish and then we were supposed to have 4x200 at :32. But halfway through the 200s I had a mild emotional breakdown about the meet this weekend and Coach moved me to the miler group, so I ended up doing 2x100 at :18 and 4x200 at :36. So, overall, my whole workout was (6x100, 2x200, 2x100, 4x200). Then legs and 7 min core.

During my little freak-out though, I told Coach I wasn't sure if I was ready and he told me not to worry. He said he wanted me to come up to the meet & be with the team, and if I ran or not was up to me. He said I have up until I step on the line to back out. I don't plan on backing out based on my nerves, because that's super lame, but if I get there and the times seem too out-of-reach I might wait til the next meet to run. I don't know. This is the kind of thing that makes me question if I started track again simply because I hate my life.
