8/30

Today was pretty chill. I did a 3 mile ish run yesterday and it was definitely one of my worst runs. I went with my dog and sister and couldn't really keep up, had to take breaks every now and then and it wasn't that bad my last 3 mile run. My sister said it was mainly due to my eating habits and running form which we worked on. My time hasn't really changed at all this cycle, not as much as it did last time. I really wanna get faster but I need to have better stamina and endurance for that. Anyways, didn't run today and got to sleep in yay! I've been kinda sick the past 2-3 ish days but slowly feeling better. I ate breakfast and was kinda chilling and then got ready for sparring class. I'm slowly getting better and there were some people there I havent seen before but all cool and nice. We worked on some cool techniques which I'm definitely using going forward. After I came home I had food and was chilling. It's not like I had nothing to do because I definitely could've been writing my essays or something, but honestly feeling drained lately with my schedule and only gonna get harder from here. Today was kinda my rest day not considering sparring class. I went late school shopping in the evening and finally got my bag more organized. Definitely locking in this week I swear guys. anyways that's all goodnight!
