New heights... these are what I try to strive for in everything I do. This is my attempt to document the new heights I work toward as after my career as a collegiate track athlete, specifically a pole vaulter came to an end. I know there are still many new heights to be reached!

Nice Morning Run
This morning i got up a little earlier and was able to be at the track just after 9. I decided to try the workout Michael and group ran yesterday morning. He wanted to see how my times compared. So I did a nice half mile warm up then got started. The work out was 400 m shuffles. I managed to get through the first in 1:23, the rest were 1:28, 1:31, and 1:25 respectively. The last one may not have been entirely accurate because an 8th grade gym class showed up to use the track between the 3rd and 4th reps! So I ran that one on a grass field behind the school, with an estimated 100 m mark. It was a tough work out. The first time I have run a 400 in a workout in a very long time. i am pretty happy with the times I was able to hit, I know I can do better but I it was a good place to start. Then I did about a 5 min run for cool down and headed home. Spent about 45 mins working on my juggling skills!! I am getting much better!! Finished up with a set of 2 min abs and a good stretch. Once again a good workout. Spent the rest of the day doing a great deal of nothing. Cannot wait until I have things to do again! just over a week!! Mom and I went for a nice walk through the neighborhood to end the day.
