#3200m

Facebook reminded me that 3 years ago, I broke a 34 year old school record in the 3200m. I have been injured ever since January 2015. Stress fractures simply love my left leg, as they have decided to invite themselves over 5 times without letting me know ahead of time. The last time I raced was at Footlocker Nationals in December 2014, I had a lot of hope in running after the track and cross country seasons in 2014. For the next 5/2 years, the thought of never running fast again due to factors out of my control made me feel as if my life was out of control. Topping the other negative things that happened which were not my fault, I lost plenty of motivation. During the last month, I’ve felt the most content since 2014 because I completely let go of things that I can not control. I’ve reached a threshold where I was tired of being unhappy with myself. I forced myself to stop caring about things out of my control, stopped comparing myself to who I was in the past, and stopped going on social media every day, it worked. I still plan to run again by taking it one day at a time, living in the moment, focusing on things in my control, and finding the positives in every situation by seeing everything as a learning opportunity. Hopefully running can come together and be lit again. I’m still setting records, but this time, I set a record in life persistence. If I knew that if this were to happen to running in 2014, I would have became a salty person, but now, I know better. However, in a way, not running has allowed me to find my passion in video game design and art, that I am designing my own game today. The only time that you should look back is to see how far you've come.

but I dropped 23 seconds off my 3200M time :D

Thought it would be a good idea to get up at 7AM with a hangover and hike up to 3200 metres! 🤢 Good view though 👌🏼😎🇨🇴 #columbia #bogota #montserrat #3200m #plumdogsworldtour (at Santuario Del Señor De Monserrate.)

Today, I set another big record, but in the pool. I did my longest workout! I did 20 min warm up, followed by 37x(50m at 35-45 seconds + 15-25 second rest), 27x(25m fast), and swim until 93 mins in the pool. Two months ago, 10x(50m) and 5x(25m) felt hard and now 4-5x of that feels awesome!  I've been pretty much on/off injury for the past 17 months, but now I started running 3-4 weeks ago and it has been going well! My endurance and enthusiasm towards working out, especially in the pool, has revived and improved a lot and I'm excited to (hopefully) race again in the fall and run marathons one day!!
