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.

I was super tired today because I make poor decisions regarding when to go to bed because I'm generally having too much fun at night to think about sleep (yesterday, for example, we had FHE where I schooled everyone in air hockey and foosball, then we came back and watched Pitch Perfect and did handstands in the hallway til midnight. Now do you understand that I have better things to do at night than get a healthy amount of sleep?). In all seriousness though, I really do need to be getting to bed earlier. I was exhausted today. We woke up at 6:30 for equipment pick-up. Then there were some serious issues with mine and Janzen's bags (aka they didn't even have ours in the equpiment room) and it took us an hour and a half to get it all straightened out. In the end, though, we got (almost) everything we needed (although we'll definitely be present on exchange day) and got back to the apartment by 8. They give us so much stuff it's unreal. Just for being on the team. Janz and I don't even have enough room in our dresser for all this stuff.

ANYWAY. I think I was supposed to do my run after getting our equipment, but, like I said, I was really tired and since Coach is super focused on the girls going to conference right now and since I'm just building a base for track, I'm pretty much the boss of myself when it comes to getting my runs in. So I went after Career & Life and it was beautiful outside. I went sorta slow today just cause I was so tired. I wore the Nikes the team gave me though and let me tell you. They are the cushioniest shoes in existence. They felt weird and I didn't like them. I don't think they gave me the right trainers anyway because they're a different color & design than everyone else on the team's. I'm gonna take them to exchange day and see what the heck is going on with my equipment. Other than my shoes though, it was a good run. Static stretching after.
