Day 30, 31 and 32

 Listening to Ozzy right now as I type this up. :) So I checked my toe the other day by holding a mirror under it and found out there is a bump. I guess it's a bug bite of some sort, maybe. I'm not sure but at least it doesn't hurt as much and the bump seems smaller. When I walk it hurts for a little bit at first, then feels fine until I get home. Weird. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it and hope that it goes away really soon. 

Strength exercises and walking are going well. Today didn't feel quite as hot as yesterday, so that's good. Also, I did a little experiment last night and totally regret it. I've been good about no screen time for the last hour before bed and I've been sleeping fairly well. Then last night I decided to test my luck and doom scrolled up until right before bed. I got caught up in learning about some different bands and where they are now and all that fun stuff. Well, very bad idea. I slept very poorly, had bad dreams and woke up tired. So definitely no doom scrolling tonight. Bad!

To continue my backstory, I remember that first summer we did Track & Field with the Summer Rec program and in particular, one specific day. We went to another school for a track meet and my parents even showed up to support us. I don't remember most of the day but I do remember my 400m race. The 400m race is one loop around a track. I hadn't done any type of training or preparation for this day, so I just started running when the gun went off and the other kids took off. I must have been very, very slow as I don't remember anyone else around me. And no, it wasn't because I was in first. I jogged but really did not want to be there. I cried almost the entire race and desperately wanted to get off the track and go home. I even looked up into the bleachers hoping my parents would just magically remove me from the track. They didn't, of course. I finished the race. Absolutely last. And for some reason, my parents kept me in Track & Field for the rest of the summer. And, as it turns out, I returned to that Summer Rec program for Track & Field every summer for the next 7 years. The program was for 14 years old and younger.
