Cemetery run again (it’s become my go to). I didn’t have a watch on me, but it was a quicker pace. I felt really good, which was a shock because I have a cold and haven’t run in a week. But it was cooler outside this evening so that’s probably why it felt so nice

Last week was a real struggle when it came to running- I just didn’t get out because I didn’t really wanna. This week I want to run every day. I’ve missed it and I’m ready to get in shape again.

I’m kinda looking forward to starting school again. It’ll be fun to start somewhere new. But I’m also pretty anxious about it because of last semester. It’ll be okay. SUU classes started today, but lucky me! I’ve got a couple more weeks of summer :)

Cemetery run again, this time the long way around Sugarhouse. Felt great, at a good pace again. No watch though. I kinda like running without my watch. Then I just run off of feel. I should probably charge it so I can get exact distance, I’m just guessing 

Over to Sugarhouse along 1700 E, started a perimeter lap then cut in at the main entrance to the drinking fountain. It was hot (I went at 4pm- the only time I could go today because it’s another busy day). 95*. Then did a road lap, stopped again at the fountain and drenched my singlet, then back home via 1300 E. My singlet was almost completely dry at the end. All it took was 1 mile to dry haha

Starting from my parents’ house I did VA loop and added up Sunnyside to Foothill then back down 900 S. It felt good, running always makes me feel better. My legs are starting to feel a little heavy, after so much time off I think they just need to readjust to running every day.

This week will be the first week in 14 weeks that I’ll actually run every day (besides Sunday- I never run on Sundays). I’m ready to start building up mileage and getting back into it.

Wasatch loop. Felt pretty good!

I found out some more stuff about my biological family yesterday. I’d asked my mom if there was a way I could look at my biological line for family history work and it turned into searching up Facebook profiles and mugshots :) turns out I have two half-brothers I didn’t know about. My parents have been in jail once a year and both got assault charges for beating each other up. Also my paternal grandmother wrote letters to us and blamed my biological mom for everything believing my biological dad was innocent, she claimed that my mom hit my uncle joe with a car. And my other uncle did a selfie video thing on Facebook I think talking to my biological brother saying “I miss you, wish you were here, this one’s for you” and poured out a bottle of beer on the ground in front of the camera. What is my family? I actually laughed everything was so ridiculous.

On a more serious note, I’m very grateful I was adopted into such an amazing family. It was really eye opening. Here I’ve been feeling inferior and like I don’t quite measure up, and yet I’m the only one from my biological family to go to college, stay away from drugs and alcohol, and my twin and I are the only ones to stay out of trouble with the law. It’s shocking to realize just how different my life could’ve been.
