Wait what? It's February?

Hi everybody!

Well, this week has been a little interesting when it comes to running. I haven't actually done any of my running plan. This is because I am one of the captains of the lacrosse team at my college. This last week we did "emergency practices" because we have a big game this coming Friday. We practiced Mon/Wed on the track at school. We did run, but it wasn't enough to count for my actual running plan. On Monday, I stayed after practice and ran 6 extra laps with a girl on the team, but still that wasn't enough.. I just couldn't force myself to keep going. I ran about 3ish miles. On Wednesday, I ran 2 miles with the team, and then did about 8 or 9 laps of sprinting/walking after practice. I still feel like that wasn't enough, but I couldn't get myself to keep going. At this point, I feel like I should be running 4 or 5 miles when I run. I had successfully run 4.5 miles at one point about 2 weeks ago which is a huge accomplishment, but that is why I feel like I should still be doing that. I have a race on April 28th, so I really need to get at it.

Anyway, on Tuesday we did P90X plyometrics. Holy moly is that difficult. The guy on that is CRAZY! On Thursday, we tried to do the "shoulders and back" section on P90X, but did not realize it required weights.. so we quit that within 5 minutes, and one of the girls ran an ab workout. On Friday, we had our first real practice where we practiced 3 hours. I lost my voice, because I had to yell over the international soccer players and the music in the gym. But it was a really great practice because the girls really improved from the first part of the practice to the end, it's great to see our hard work pay off. So, hopefully our game goes well this Friday.

On other news, I am going to Nebraska on the 24th for a lacrosse tournament. I don't get out often, so I am super excited to see another part of the United States. There isn't much else going on, I feel like I am being bad at eating again. I am back at school so of course there is more commons food... which is bad, but hopefully my weight isn't back to where it was.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Live Confidently.
