Busier than expected...

Today ended up being much busier than anticipated, so I did not get a work out in :(  Had a great time volunteering this morning.  Caity and I had a great lunch.  The store was an adventure, but Krystal's cookies are all ready to go.  Ended the day celebrating Matt and Jeff's Birthdays a little early.  Had a great time with those guys tonight, it was nice to see them all again.  They always make me laugh, but I am so the Penny of the group! HAHAHAHA!

Tomorrow we are off to OH, so I probably will not be able to post again for a while.  Happy New Year if I am not on here again!

First day of recovery...

Had a wonderful Christmas yesterday with the family...It is always great to stay  at home and just enjoy being together. 
Yesterday was also the first day that the antibiotic really kicked in.  I am starting to feel better.  My throat is no longer killing me, but I am still just really tired all of the time.  Even the stairs just drain me.  But decided to try to get a work out in anyway.  Road the bike at a nice pace while Jared and I watched some NCIS.  Just thirty minutes, more tired than I should be, but felt good to be going again.  Hopefully, now I will be able to pick up the pace leading into camp!

Hope that everyone had a great Chirstmas!!!!!!!!

Sore Throat Shutdown

So unfortunately after just one day of getting back on track I developed a sore throat.  Took yesterday off to get better.  It did not help much.  Woke up this morning feeling even worse.  Spent most of the day on the couch.  With some medicine and rest I am feeling a bit better, head still hurts.  Maybe I will be better tomorrow.

First workout in a while

Dont really know what has happened to the past few weeks, but besides one sad run today was my first real workout since the meet.  I just have not really had  much motivation...tired from the very long semester I guess.

Today I did get myself going go.  I spent an hour on the bike, with pick ups for 1 min after every 4 mins.  So 11 total I think.  It was not a super tough cardio workout, but got the job done for today.  Then I did push ups, 1 set of 25, 1 set of 15, and 10 clapping push ups, a workout I stole a while ago.  In between sets of push ups I did coach patty's 2 min abs.  It is really bad how out of shape my arms and abs have gotten, but I got it done.  The goal is to get workouts in every day this week, so this was not a bad start.

Don't know if anyone reads this any more, but thought I would update it since I had the time.

Not a lot to report personally...

We had our first meet yesterday.  Personally it was not a real great day.  No heighted at 2.45 (8ft).  Ended up running much harder when it was compition time than I have been at practice so I ran myself way under.  If I was going to fail that was the best way in which to do it.  Not thrilled with yesterday.  Just trying to be content with the fact that I have been taking off on all my jumps, no more of this scared thing.  Its early, so itll be ok.

Was really excited for the team though!  Overall it was an amazing day!!  Congrats the freshman pole vaulters for clear their first collegiate heights!  As a team it is going to be a great year!! Dont think coach has ever looked so happy after a december meet before!
