Today I started as if to do VA loop then cut down Sunnyside to the East High track. Did a couple strides and stretched before starting the 400. Right before I had the thought, "let's try to break 80." I wasn't confident I would, but I did! I ran a 79. It definitely felt all out so that's all I can do right now, but I was happy with it. Then ran back home. 

I find it really lucky I haven't got COVID yet. But I've been taking measures to stay away from it, like staying in my room all day. Which is kinda boring but worth it if it means I don't get it. Also taking vitamin C, vitamin D, and some other pill my mom said helps I just forgot what it is lol. Zinc? I think that's it. I'm going to add some of the ones Sasha suggested too

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, I'm in Enoch again for Thanksgiving, just like every year. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving even though COVID is running wild in the Sargent household :)

Thank you Burt, I did! It was definitely different than other years with it just being immediate family and at home, but we had a great dinner and my sister made two pies- apple and banana cream.

How about that! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving too :) how long will you be in Enoch?

Until Sunday.

Congratulations on breaking 80! It is OK that this is all you can do for now. This is a good stepping stone. Remember not to compare the times you are getting with your best self. This is how you manage a setback. You realize that you are a different self, and set new goals appropriate for your new condition. Maybe you will be able to dig out of it and rise back to the old glory and beyond - and we certainly hope for that. But maybe not, and we need to be ready for that "if not". What really matters, though. is that you take the setback you've been dealt and fight it. When we return to God, He will not judge us on the setbacks we experienced, but rather on how we fought. Always remember that.

Wow thank you Sasha! There is so much wisdom in that! Thank you so much for the reminder not to compare myself to my former self, it can be hard sometimes to remember that. And I like that, “He will not judge us on the setbacks we experience, but rather on how we fought.” I’d never considered that before. Thank you Sasha you’re such a big help :) I really appreciate your comments and advice.
