Homestretch

Very soon, thanksgiving will be here and I will happily make the two-hour drive back to algona to see my family. I can't wait to get home. The last couple weeks have just dragged on and I can't wait to be able go home for the second time all year. Ever since the fall break I have lost a lot of motivation for school, that coupled with the ending of the cross country season has me kinda drained. Hopefully the long thanksgiving break will give me an opportunity to recharge a little and get a better perspective on things. Usually after a long break from school I come back ready to rock so hopefully the same thing happens after thanksgiving. Another thing that will definitely help my motivation is my return to running. Ever since I strained my soleus I have been taking some much needed time off and I'm ready to get back to exercising again. I have an important winter ahead of me, and good training will set the tone for the very long track season ahead of me. I have big goals for track, and accomplishing those goals is going to take an above average commitment. I will half to greatly build on my existing speed, and build strength in my lower legs, this will help me avoid injury and regain the speed I had during track last year. Overall, I'm feeling pretty confident, and over the course of next week I will be thinking of one thing, THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!!
