Crushing it

Feel real good today, man. Just crushed a powerlift workout. Skipped the post lift stretch because I saw some dude with a soccer ball and asked him if he wanted to kick it around. He was impressed that I could juggle a little even though I never played. We had a nice conversation. Started talking about getting a job vs getting a PHD. He seemed like a smart kid. He was getting his medical degree or whatever it’s called.

We starting talking about perspective. How some kids he was going to school with would sweat the small stuff. When you’ve never been in the real world things like that start to bother you. If a teacher words a question in an odd way it isn’t the end of the world. Especially when it’s the only question on the test you got wrong. Let it go man. You’re just going to annoy your professor.

I had a great workout yesterday too. Got home after work and crushed 7 miles. Weather was perfect. I walked a little in the middle but got back to running during the last couple of miles. I still had a nice 8:40 pace which is good considered I walked for almost a mile. I also set my 1 mile PR at 6:21 which was pretty surprising since I trained for a marathon during the end of last summer and some of those workouts were pretty wild.

I’m going to be alright man. Fuck that, I’m going to more than alright. I’m going to crush it. I penned out a letter I was thinking about sending to my ex girlfriend. She moved to a new state for a new job. She got out there and then broke up with me within 2-3 weeks. I thought we were going to give the long distance thing a shot but apparently not. That’s alright. She was someone I thought I could live the rest of my life with. I just need to find a person where that feeling is mutual.

I’ve got to think more about whether or not I should actually send it. What do I want to accomplish? Do I want her back? This was actually the third time that she broke up with me. The first two didn’t stick. If we actually get back together do I want to constantly worry about us breaking up again? Is she someone I can trust? Is she even thinking about me? Is this what I’m looking to accomplish by sending her a letter? To get her to think about me again? I’ve got a lot to think about.
