Friends
I got to hang out with two of my best friends yesterday, it was great. We have known each other since 5th grade, and have been like family ever since. We haven’t talked much since we all went to college and it has been kind of hard. But it is great to know that when we all get back together it is like we never left. They truly are more than just friends to me, they are my brothers.

Run, work, Gym
That’s life for me. 4.5mile run, but we were “off the grid” no watches or anything. Work was fun, I am learning how to be a cook, and the gym is always a good time, shoulders and back tonight.

First Workout
A nice easy workout of 15min warm-up/cool-down and the actual workout of 10 x 20sec sprints with 1min recovery jogs in between. I missed working out on the track, it really is fun.

Tonight's Run
40min/4.54 miles, if I thought we were haulin’ ass earlier this week, I was very wrong. This was a fast run, so we will see how it effects the long run planned for tomorrow.

Random Act of Kindness 3
Some kids in my mom’s class spilled a ton of glitter on the floor. I brought a vacuum and cleaned up as much as I could so the janitor wouldn’t have to deal with it right before winter break.

I..I...I workout
Sexy and I know it came one at the gym today while I was curling. Had to resist the urge to do some pelvic thrusts. Had a good workout, glad my youngest sister, Jordyn, came along to keep me company.

Self-control
I feel that I really struggle with self-control. It is the main cause behind most of the problems that I have. Procrastination, inconsistency, and general laziness. This following quarter I found out just how bad this problem has become for me. A few of my classes were really boring this quarter. Well, more the professors than the actual class. So I skipped classes and told myself and...

Miracle
I somehow got an A- in either biochemistry or Classical Mechanics. 3.2 ftw!
Now to wait and see which class got the A- and which one got the C+, but at least I can relax a little.

Fall Quarter
I may have taken on more than I could handle this quarter. I will be lucky if I get a 3.0. At least I got an A- in Electromagnetism, I actually understand it now. However, time commitments, poor judgement, and some not-so-good professors have left me really struggling. At least I have learned something from this and will be correcting it in the Winter. I know its not a horrible GPA but I was...

Random Act of Kindness 1&2
So, my first random act of kindness was actually a few days ago at Dennys. My girlfriend and I had dinner there, and I left a very generous tip for the waitress. And today my second act was to allow a fellow associate to go home early and close in her place. I always have a blast closing, even if people come in two minutes before we are about to lock up. I am looking forward to the rest of my...

Never...
have I studied this hard in my life. I really like biochemistry, but my Professor just sucked, so I skipped class and now I am paying for it. Hopefully classical mechanics will boost my ego a little tomorrow.

I should not be allowed to run alone.
Went faster than I should have. Goal pace for easy runs 8:45-9:15 I went 8:30 on average, including a few very large up hills. Oh well, had fun on my first afternoon run in a long time! 40min 4.71miles

Tonight's run.
My new training plan has me running by time instead of distance. So it was 3.16miles in 30mins, followed by an ab workout and some push-ups. And all at under 40 degrees… yay for winter…

In his Memory
Today would have been my cousin Camden’s 16th birthday. Unfortunately, he passed away on Dec. 16th seven years ago. He had a fatal asthma attack in his home. In his memory my family is going to do 16 random acts of kindness between now and the new year. Please feel free to join in this for some one you love and miss. Kindness is something we should all try to share as often as we can.
