running update 7 months ago

I love this website, because I feel like people are cheering for me when I do difficult things its great moral support. Today I ran 2 miles straight.I have not timed myself running yet, because I want to actually wait till I can run a longer distance in any time frame, then I will time myself. Tomorrow I will take a day of rest and hopefully get out on Friday and try for three miles.



write everyday
everyday not every three months 7 months ago

I’ve kept journals and notebooks since I was young, and I used to write everyday or almost everyday. Now as I’ve gotten older I’ve had to cram much more into my life and writing is pushed out. What I want to do is practice my writing everyday and eventually start writing essays for contests. I love writing probably because I’ve been reading since I was young and chose writing as the easiest way to express myself.



take an art class
I'm creative, but lack some skills 7 months ago

I’m a creative person and have been told this before.I play music and write, as well as sculpt metal, but I have always wanted to visually create with paints and color or photo. Summer is approaching and I live on a college campus so I think it would be great for me to actually take an art class to help me gain some basic fundamentals.

After some time off 7 months ago

I have a bad habit of going into something full bore and then after a few weeks, stopping completely! I just started running again yesterday after a few months of downtime (which I think was great for my tendonitus, but was unintentional).I did only one mile around the local track and walked for a few more miles. Today was a little better because I walked to warm up before stretching then ran a mile. After the first mile I walked a bit, then ran another. This week hopefully I can do two miles non-stop.My knee didnt even hurt at all…Knock on wood.
