Fridays

I've spent time outside in the sun errday this week. It's been incredible. I've scheduled more time for sleep, and have spent at least half an hour outside exercising Monday through Friday. When the Frisbee season ended, I said to myself, "Ok cool now I can focus on fitness and enjoy being athletic". Hahaha. Interesting: what was I doing during the Frisbee season? I don't know.

Yesterday (Friday), I planned to meet up with a friend at the rec pool around 2:30. I get their early and decide to just start running outside to get my sweat going before I enter the pool. The idea worked out nicely because my friend texted me saying she would be late, which gave me a good 15 minute run around campus.

Walking into the Rec pool area is scary shit. I accept that people quietly judge other people in their head. It doesn't bother me at all once I accepted that it happens. But as I'm sure you already know, there is some STEEP competition at the Rec pool for looking good. It's an interesting community that I feel as if I'm apart of, but it can be extremely competitive.

Of the 3 hours I stayed at the rec pool, I might have tried eggbeating for 2 minutes of it. Not a successful day at all. Thinking back on it, I wish I had just spent the 3 hours on some run.

The one upside to my athletic day was playing pick up soccer after the rec pool. It was my first time playing soccer at Davis. In the beginning I was scared that not having cleats would fuck me over, but soon began to realize that my two year time span of not kicking a soccer ball kinda did it for me. Either way, it was fun. I felt as if I had a better field perspective than I did in highschool. Some stuff made sense to me such as where they wanted to kick the ball, or where I should kick the ball, or where I should set myself up if I want to stop their offense string plays. I don't remember being as field smart when I was in highschool.

Probably why I was cut from JV my junior year.
