Today's workout had me struggling. I won't lie I made it through it but it wasn't easy..one thing I can say is that I deposited some money into the bank. I'm with my progress thus far. I'm getting into shape. Soaking last night in that Epsom Salt really help kick the soreness out of my legs after this weeks earlier workouts. It help so much that I went out and bought a 6lb bag of salt today. I'm getting older and my body isn't, so I have to take extra care of my body and do extra to get in shape. I'm not 19 anymore. I miss 19 though, I didn't have to do as much to kick soreness or get into shape. now I'm 23 and it takes forever for me to warm up and kick soreness. SUCKS but I'm happy.

We had abs right after the workout and my stomach cramped up sooooo bad that I had to do spider stretch to unclench my stomach muscles. It was so painful but I didn't cheat and did my abs when my stomach unlocked, lol. I'm guess weighted abs yesterday was a VERY bad idea.

Coach fired off the travel schedule today during practice and my eyes lit up. We're going to meets including Florida Relays, Tennessee Relays and Iowa State Invitational. Too bad I won;t be able to compete in indoor OFFICIALLY for VCU this season. Thank you NCAA!! Oh well, it's making me even more hungry for OUTDOOR. I can't wait to compete. Grinding everyday, getting better everyday. Coach also said that there will be a "Travel Squad". So you know I'm going to make the squad right? I have to, I need the PER DIEM!!

In all seriousness, I love my team by the way. They keep me going. We are growing together EVERYDAY. A team that struggles together, will eventually win together. We are going to shock the CAA this year. I slowly see the youngsters stepping up already. I need more out of my veterans. We must be the examples. But if the rookies want to step up, LET'S GO! This year we need every to be GREAT.

Signing off,
