Sock tans

First day of classes, lots of homework already. I had a job interview as well, it went well. I just have to work out a time to come in for orientation.

I also got two blisters on the back of my heel yesterday from wearing some heels I haven't worn much, I guess I need to break them in ha. They were quite painful today. I fit in a quick run in the evening, my stomach was not agreeing with me

Today President Nelson went to BYU to speak to all the Young Adults, it was broadcast in the BYUI center and also on churchofjesuschrist.org. We got out of class early for it :) it was really cool, I especially liked when he started talking about the human heart and discovering that you can basically “turn off” the heart to repair it then turn it back on again. Especially because I had Anatomy and Physiology right before, the body is fascinating. Someone had asked him a while back while he was practicing medicine “what if it doesn’t work?” His response: “It always does!” He went on to explain that truth is truth, like how the law of gravity is always constant, the law of motion, etc. They’re simply always true. So too are the eternal truths he spoke about. Anyways, great meeting!

Today I went towards SH 33 and found a paved trail that followed the railroad tracks so I ran on that for a while. After a half mile I then decided to pick up the pace a little. I settled on a quickie mile. Up to that point I averaged 7:21.

Whooowee I’m out of shape. My body isn’t used to going faster anymore. I’ve also gained a few pounds over the last 6 months, whoops. Anyways, I hit 6:21. It definitely wasn’t an all-out mile and I kept it relaxed, but it was quicker than my normal runs. Then I turned and started heading back, whooo no wonder I was surprised about hitting 6:21 at that effort, the wind had been to my back! I’d say without the wind it would’ve been closer to 6:45-6:50. At least that’s what it felt like. The wind was pretty strong so on the way back I decided to do 10x1 minute pickups to distract me. The average pace (including both fast and slow) for that was 7:39.

Off day today, I accidentally slept in. I’ve been having a lot of weird dreams as of late, and they’re vivid too. It’s not until I wake up that I go, huh, and realize I was just dreaming. Anyways, lots of homework and studying today, I took two quizzes on canvas, then I squoze in 3 miles before country dancing. That was a blast. 7:13 average

I took Main towards the road you’d take to go towards Walmart then decided to check out where the paved trail by the river went, it goes to the railroad tracks. Cool! There was a bridge to the left one across the river and I took it, it didn’t go much farther but it went behind a water park. Then I went back to the main road and followed it to Highway 33 where I was earlier this week. Then turned and went back home, though on the way back there was a parade happening on Main Street, that was crazy to navigate through. 7:48 average 

Great day today! First day of work, orientation and paid training. It was actually kinda fun, I can get kind of competitive and it makes time pass by quick:)

I took the one road (ehhh I forgot the name) past University and kept going. Then turned and came back. I saw two rainbows and several horses, plus it was the perfect temperature with a slight rain/sun out. 'Twas a good time! 7:35 average
