Did my shakeout a bit later then usual. I woke up resl’y Hungry and felt very felt in terms of energy so I went to eat after doing some packing. Feeling s bit stressed with the whole moving situation so it was nice to run and take my mind off it for a bit.

My mind was not where it should've been today. I am feeling very overwhelmed. I have been doing a lot of stressing and the demands I have are not allowing me to do as much resting as I would like with moving and just finishing exams, but I doing my best to not boil over. I am very glad and proud of myself to have kept it together today. A year ago I would've made many excuses and had a breakdown if I was in the same situation. But I have been making dealing with adversity and not being so volatile a priority and I have come a long way. I feel like a totally different person, and a better one. I was feeling sorry for myself at the start of the workout and was on the brink of tears. I tried to focus on the moment, but ended up still feeling sorry and making excuses as to why I wasn't running great. I remembered the quote about "you can either make yourself miserable, or make yourself better, the amount of work you do is the same" my mindset changed and I began to enjoy the workout. I also remembered our talk after pool and I made sure to get to a Wednesday effort and do my best to stick with Noah and Maxie, I have no excuse to not hit the effort and since I was tired this meant I was going to get a lot out of today, and learn how to put my other worries behind me and still get a quality workout done. I need to have that mindset from the start, but this is a process and I am just proud to see how far I've come and also how much I have to learn. Thank you everyone for making this year one of the best, if not the best year and time I have had. I am truly grateful to have you all in my life and have the opportunity to be on the team and pursue my passion.
