Stress Relief

well.....uhm.....i don't really like yoga. i like stretching and all, but yoga is just....yeah. i just don't like it. but this week, i will take 10 minutes out of my day (in the morning) and stretch. just stretch. nothing else. i always feel much better after i stretch. also, i will take 5 minutes out of my day (in the evening) and breathe. i will breathe 3 seconds in, and 6 seconds out. i did this last week and found it to be extremely helpful. i'll also go running this week on tuesday, thursday, and saturday. running makes everything better:)

Fitness Goal

My fitness goal is to workout for one hour each day for the rest of the semester.
At the high school in my area, we have conditioning every A day for fourth period. We do cross fit, weights, and sprints. All I have to do is workout every B day and on Saturdays. The one thing that I really want to work on, is my speed, because that's really important in my sport. Other than that, I'm happy:)

thanks.

Blood Pressure

My blood pressure is 115.
I honestly have no idea what that means, but I think it's good, because I looked up the average for my age, and the average is about 117. So.....yeah. I'm happy.
thanks for reading.
