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.
