Back In Track

I am officially back and track mode and actually have been for about two weeks. It feels good to be back into a routine of regular strength training and conditioning. I am still somewhat limited due to my still recovering thumb but anything is better than nothing. I am continuing physical therapy and should be cleared by the end of October.

I am very impressed with college track so far I definitely feel like it is a big step up from high school but I relish the challenge. Since I started lifting again I have been sore almost everyday. We start throwing the weight next week, I am excited and a little nervous to be learning an entirely new event. The weight, for those who don't know, is similar to the hammer except it weights 35 lbs. and I believe is a little shorter. I am already guaranteed to be in the top two because there are only two throwers, this takes a little pressure off me because I know I will already be competing and don't have to fight for a spot. Also though it means that I will need to try and help the team score points once the big meets start coming up. 

Well gotta go therapy beckons.

College Boy

It is official I am in college. The third week is underway, no turning back now. It has been unorthodox compared to the life that I am used to. I am separated from family and friend that I have had as support. I don't have parents to ask advice from, there are no sisters for me to be a brother to, and I have no one to tuck me in at night. I have been spoiled throughout my life with two loving parents and two awesome sisters. I have been privileged with a core groups of friends who love me. The one constant I have in my life is God. He is always with me and will never forsake me. It is comforting to know that I have the ultimate shepherd watching over me. I have been exposed to a lot of the dirt that college has to offer, and I don't think I've seen it all. I am praying that I can be a light on the UMBC campus. 

Class has gone great so far. I have taken one quiz which I aced, 100%. Taking notes has been very tedious with my thumb still recovering from surgery. I have pushed through and believe that I am doing an adequate job. Todays class was a little boring but hopefully that was a one day thing. 

Track is starting on Thursday. I will not be able to do everything right away it will probably be mid October before I am 100%. 

Well that is all I have for now. Can't promise I will be faithful to the blog but maybe I will.
