Once again, I've fallen behind on my updates. My apologies. Between working at the courthouse, school, and taking care of my turtle (I mentioned, I now own a turtle, right?), I've been rather busy. I didn't expect 3L year to be this busy, but I guess this is typical of my life. Unless I'm actually on vacation, I seem to always be busy doing something. Of course, that doesn't seem to include going to the gym these days. On Sunday, I went and set out to walk for a while. However, the inner runner in me got frustrated. Though I may like strolling around the Botanic Gardens when I'm home or walking along the beach, powerwalking in the gym doesn't seem to do the same thing for me. After walking 0.75 miles, I sprinted the remaining 0.25. I don't know what it is, but I just have this feeling inside that makes me really want to run. I finished up my workout with my sit up and arm routines, but I felt a bit defeated. My legs told me that I'm still not fully recovered, which made me lack the confidence to do anything else and made me question the wisdom of returning this week. As such, I've concluded that I need to start swimming. That seems to be the number one thing that runners do when they are injured, and, as a novice runner, I will follow them.
Nevertheless, the week has been alright. I had the willpower to resist the mound of candy on the table during a group project, and I have still been eating healthy. I'm down 23.2lbs, which is still 4.8lbs above where I was at the beginning of the summer. Still, I have confidence that I can get back to where I started, especially given this new swimming idea. On that note, I leave you with a video and a pics of my cute and crazy turtle Karoline.
Karoline doing the usual and swimming into the glass.
This shows you all how small she is.
This is her home. :)
Besito,
Alyse and Karoline
