​70:00 + 15 morning & weights

 

​Ran a 1500m time trial today. Was shooting for a 4:10, missing it just barely with a solid 4:21. Not really sure what happened. I started out quite a bit slow and went slower on the second lap, then I felt like I needed to poop on the third lap and the finish wasn't a matter of if I could go faster or not, but a matter of if I was willing to push hard enough that the poop would come out. Freaking heck I'm going to start taking hardcore medication pills so that I will not have ANY problems at all becuase I freaking hate it. Also,

​VERY IMPORTANT:

​I am deleting my social media apps. I don't know if it will actually do anything, and it will probably be very hard, but I've just come to notice that I spend a lot of time on it and I often get stressed out about certain things on there (Guys team, you know what I mean) and I just feel like it would be good to spend less time on it. I also noticed that Galen Rupp doesn't use social media, Lopez Lomong really just does it to share his awesomeness, and Casey Clinger doesn't even have any accounts anywhere. And most importantly, Steve Prefontaine ​didn't even have the option to have social media. I look up to all of these guys, so I think I'm going to go ahead and try it out and see how it feels. :)

I don't even know you tbh but mad respect for the social media thing. Twitter is just fighting/wanna be philosophers anyway. I've thought about quitting everything multiple times, but I just like Snapchat too much. Mad probs and good luck this season
