Comments:
OMG Soooo excited for move in and camp! Met up with everyone at Veale and we went for a group run up to Northpark. Great to see everyone. Everyone is in such good shape. What a season its gonna be... Oh wait nevermind. I actually spent the day at home packing and being bored. I finally finished that fucking safe drivers course. It took almost 8 hours and pretty much didnt teach me anything new. Felt so sluggish by the afternoon rolled around, I really wanted to get out to run just to switch it up.

It felt so good to get out the door. Ran downtown on Albany and then went along Cascadilla Creek to the sciencenter. Did one last loop around the high school then came back on Linn. I added on up Cascadilla Park Rd by the Christian Scientist Church. What a crazy hill but a beautiful street, one of the nicest in all of Ithaca I would say. Cruzing up it felt exactly like cross, and thats a good feeling. Came down Stewart and the footbridge then back home.

Essentials: Stretch

Stretch out back breifly. Legs were good today, actually felt pretty robust. Upper body still trying to keep up, but I will work on that. I am ready to head out to Amherst. Its been really boring here. I feel brain dead and kinda want school to start to get my head straight. Definitely got the break I needed this summer.

Its funny to think back 4 years ago, I had no fucking clue what I was getting myself into when I got to Cleveland for cross camp. Little did I know it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Im feeling the same way. I am pretty excited. I was flipping through Ashby and Callister & Rethwisch yesterday and I realized how cool material science is and how passionate I am about it. Still though, I dont really know what I am getting myself into, but I am ready for it.
