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.

Today was seriously the most hectic day of my life. On T/TH I have class from 10:30 to 2:45, practice from 3-4:30ish, then work from 5-11. On top of that, I have a paper due this weekend that I haven't even chosen a topic for. Needless to say, I was quite overwhelmed. After a call to my mom that didn't help at all and some resultant rash decision-making, I ended up skipping some classes I probably shouldn't have skipped in order to finish the homework due this weekend. SO. All that seemingly unnecessary information is relevant because it leads up to the fact that I was super stressed before I went on my run today. The girls had 20 minutes plus strides this afternoon so I went on my own run at like 2:15ish. And let me just tell you. It was exactly what I needed. It was 30 minutes that I got to spend by myself just thinking and prioritizing my life. Also, the weather was beyond perfect. The leaves are turning and the sky was the prettiest blue ever and it was like 65 degrees. I just let myself get lost in my thoughts and before I knew it I was back at my apartment. And then reality came crashing back down. But still. I feel a million times better.

So basically: 30 minutes easy. Static stretching afterward.
