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.

Trying to keep track of my getting-back-into-shapeness so I can remember stuff.

It's weird because I don't even think PVHS uses this thing anymore, and I'm 99.9% sure USU doesn't.  My random comments will fall on deaf ears. Scratch that. They'll fall on no ears. Except my own.

Anyhow, today was my first day officially back into running. Coach Spence asked me exactly how out of shape I am and I told him I am extremely out of shape. But don't worry, he's super chill and didn't even yell at me or kick me off the team. He told me we'd start getting my body back into running 6 days a week and hopefully have me in shape in time for indoor, so basically I'm gonna be doing 30 minute runs for the next little bit, and then whatever other various activities the rest of the team is doing. So. Today's workout:

Full set of drills, 6 strides, 30 minute easy run, lifting (just arms). Felt fine except for the arms because as it turns out I have no arm muscle whatsoever. I have never played a sport or done any activity really that required arm muscle. I need new trainers (and flats. And running clothes. And a watch) so I'll be getting those this weekend.

Deaf ears? Maybe. But not blind eyes. It's good to see you back running, and word on the street is that you're actually enjoying it again. I'm happy for you.

Thanks Roberts! I'll see you at state!
