Journal 4: actually trying

Before you read this, click on the post to read the whole thing so you get the full effect. 

So the cycle starts in three days!! Time to get serious. Cue the music!!! If you clicked on the link, you probably hate me now, don't you? Never mind. So I've given up on my 10 mile in one day goal because it is super unrealistic and I didn't even bother trying to accomplish it anyway. I have been slowly getting adjusted to the requirements now and it's actually not that bad. You just have to set aside an hour or two of your time. I can do that during summer, but I don't know if I can do that at school. I have homework and other extracurriculars. I usually will get to my homework right after school and then go to soccer or diving or whatever. I also do not like going out after dark AT ALL. I just have this fear that a murderer will pop up one time and be like "You couldn't get out of going out after dark this time? WELP, WHAT A SHAME!" and then murder me...yeah I know I'm weird . So I think I will run at night after homework, then do the rest of the requirements at my house. Then I will eat dinner, have some alone time, and go to sleep. I actually really liked running this morning. Sure the air smelled like burning souls dying in this heat, but otherwise it was great! Then I went to a doctor's appointment. And I got a shot. I hate shots. I don't CARE that hate is a strong word, I STRONGLY HATE IT! So yeah. It's raining again. When will it ever stop raining. So tomorrow I'm going to go rock climbing at this center. Even though moving has had its difficulties, it has a lot of pros too. One being, we live near EVERYTHING. We live near a bunch of restaurants, a mall, a bunch of cool stuff (like rock climbing) and we're closer to Carowinds!! YAY! In conclusion, I think I've got it all worked out on how I can juggle school, extracurriculars, friends, family, and the black belt cycle. So yay. Also... this is now my new theme song. Hope you like it!
