Day 36 - 40

 Sorry for taking so long to get back to my entry. I've been cleaning and bagging all of my lego stuff, well, it's actually not legos but rather lego-like. I'm doing a little Spring cleaning so I thought I'd go through the stuff on my shelves and see what to donate and what to keep. Anyway, I kind of got sucked into the project and haven't had much time for anything else. On the down side, my knees hate me for using them too much. On the bright side, it has helped me avoid snacking during the day. I've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner but no boredom snacking! 

And another yay! I have been doing my exercises this week and no soreness after. The workout still feels a little tough so I won't increase the reps or sets just yet. I'm very happy, though, that my body seems to be getting stronger, even if it is going slower than I had hoped, it's still progress. Also, my new pillow is working out great for my neck. It would be kind of a hassle if I still slept on my back and sides because I would have to keep turning the pillow around to have my neck rest properly on it. But since I only sleep on my sides, it's working out well.

To continue my backstory, when I was a kid, my family used to participate in road races on the weekend. Not every weekend, but probably about once a month. We would travel to different parts of the state, usually no more than an hour away. We'd run different distances, mostly between 5k and 5 miles. I really enjoyed road races because I almost always won a medal or trophy. A lot of people just participated as a way to be healthy, where I liked to compete to win. Once I started Junior High, I joined the Track & Field team. I also played Basketball in the winter and Soccer in the Fall. I did these three sports every year from 7th grade until 11th grade.
