Wow! Where has the time gone. Apparently there are only 4 and a half weeks left of this semester?! What in the world. Also, we had a snow day yesterday and classes were actually cancelled for the entire day. Probably the best text I have ever woken up to. I had such a wonderful weekend, though I clocked few hours of sleep. I woke up at 6 for swim practice, saw the text, and went right back to sleep until 9:30. Score!
This semester has been the most stressful thus far. I didn't think it would be too difficult, I mean I LOVE math and science, so taking 2 math classes and a science class won't be bad. Wrong. The education math classes are much different than any other math class I have taken. I am actually in the last of the 3 required classes this semester, so as long as I get a C-... which should happen, I will be able to start taking the upper level math courses! Score. I also am in trig, I defiintely forgot how much I hated that class in high school. Most of the time I am just sitting in class, thinking, "What the hell?" But, it will all help me in the end, just a bit of a struggle right now.
On the training side of things, I AM RUNNING AGAIN. PRAISE THE LORD. I started running last Saturday, and by running, I mean walking with a few little short jogs thrown in. I smiled the biggest i have smiled in a long time during that first 1 minute segment of jogging. Man, did I miss that feeling. I actually had been running on the treadmill so I could control my pace and not push anything too hard. Today I got to run outside though for the first time. It was such an amazing feeling. I forgot that I was running a few times and looked down at my watch and the three minute segments were over in what felt like 30 seconds. [Let's just hope it continues to feel that way for the rest of the season, especially track work and long runs.... somebody please remind me that I said this...]
I am still continuing to enjoy every minute (sort of) of every workout. It is such a wonderful gift to have legs that can kick, bike and run and arms to pull and lift. Just remembering to go slow and listen to my body, I want to do this for a very long time.
