Now that I’m home, I’ve been trying to come up with a new routine. I decided that I’m going to eat healthier, run and work out every other day, take my vitamins and drink a lot of water. I love running outside as opposed to being on a treadmill. In high school, I’d run 7-8 miles a day after school on the treadmill. I definitely got sick of it. So far it has taken me 3-4 trips of minor side cramps, stopping, and walking to finish the run. I’m hoping that those things will go away soon. They’re definitely hindrances to a good and satisfying run. The weather definitely does not help. My allergies acted up on the last run and it was quite miserable. I was running back with pressure in my sinuses that were almost unbearable (even though I took Claritan D!). I’m hoping that does not happen again because I hate wasting time to stop. For me, the best part about running outside is getting to see all the little animals like chipmunks, squirrels, bunnies and pretty birds among other adorable creatures.
Love me, I'm cute!
I also like listening to my running soundtrack (which I need to update). I’m always kind of in my own little world when I’m running, but I have be aware of my surroundings since there are cars everywhere and I’m running on Valley Road, which is a fairly busy street.
Anyway, I’ve been reviewing 3 semesters worth of Chinese before I learn some on my own. Since I’m only on the 2nd semester (lesson 8), I better get going!
Stay tuned, dear readers for more summer adventures!
Let’s have a running date next semester!
