Now that cross country is over, looking ahead, I have no clue what I'm going to do after class gets over at 3:35! Normally, I would run to my dorm room, grab my track clothes, and head to practice for a two hour sweat session, but now, I just don't know. For the first few weeks, the weeks I have to take off, I will probably hit the football field, and get ready for the end of the year football game amongst the guys on team. This will give me an opportunity to still be exercising, but on a much lighter note than running mileage. It will also give me an opportunity to revive some athletiscism. Doing nothing but running for a couple months really puts a damper on the other sports skills, I couldnt even catch or throw a football the other day! Luckily, my skills have not disappeared, and I did have one awesome catch in traffic followed by a perfect spiral! The skills are there, they just need to be revived. For now, my play will consist of random flashes of crazy athletiscism, followed by something very unathletic.
From an academic standpoint, the extra time will really help me plan out assignments a lot better. With the stresses of the season gone, I can solely focus on school without hopping into "champ mode" at 4 o clock every day. It also gives me some much needed nap time after classes if I'm really tired, instead of going to work out half empty, I can take a 20 min power nap and then go work out, the flexibility is endless! Maybe now I will be able to restart my thoughts a little bit, and think of college in a more positive light. A really big stressor has been lifted, and now I can breathe a sigh of relief.........until track season in February.
