Week 24

June 10th- Rest/ Study

Today was spent studying for my final that’s tomorrow. It was a long day in the library filled with relearning what I have been taught this quarter in my MIS class.

June 11th- Rest/ Test

It’s test day! Got my test over by 10am and spent the rest of the day relaxing and taking a break from everything having to do with school.

June 12th- Rest

I am not doing too good this week with the whole running and gym thing… being on summer break is taking a tole on me, I am becoming too lazy! I am going to have to start picking it up and get motivated to hit the gym/ run.

June 13th- 2.7 mile run and weight lifting at the gym

I learned my lesson by taking the week off from running. Lake Padden kicked my butt today! Those hills were a lot harder than I remember them being. Note to self: don’t take so many days off in between runs.

This mornings run felt long and hard. I felt very sluggish while running, it felt like I was barely moving. I dislike these kinds of runs. No matter what my pace was, I didn’t feel like I was going fast enough. I haven’t felt this way in a really long time and I think it has to do with not running earlier in the week. So, to make up for being lazy I decided to hit the gym tonight with Alex one last time before he graduates tomorrow.

At the gym I did the stair climber for 5 minutes. My legs were feeling really tired and I decided to move onto an arm workout. I did some assisted pull ups, bicep curls with the dumbbells, and worked some of my back muscles. It felt good lifting weights and easing back into it. I haven’t noticed the cyst on my wrist getting bigger, so I am hoping to continue to ease into these weight lifting workouts.

June 14th- Rest

Today is the day! Alex graduates from WWU. We both spent the morning in interviews for potential jobs/ internships. The afternoon was filled with spending time with Alex’s family and celebrating their last kid graduating from college. Today was a lot of fun and very exciting to see what the future holds for not only me, but Alex and I’s future!

June 15th- Rest

To celebrate Alex’s graduation and Father’s Day, we ended up going to the Brewfest at Marymoor Park in Redmond. We spent the morning with my dad to celebrate an early Father’s Day, then headed down to Marymoor Park to hang out with Alex’s older siblings while drinking beer.

It was super hot out and really dusty. We spent the afternoon drinking and ended the night with a quick dinner at a burger place in Redmond. It was a fun day filled with celebrating Father’s Day and trying a bunch of really good beer.

June 16th- Rest

We spent the night in Seattle and headed up to Everett later in the day to stop in and see Alex’s dad for Father’s Day. We helped them finish their deck then headed back up to Bellingham. I have a week vacation until I start summer classes, so I am hoping to get a hike or two in this upcoming week. We will have to see how the weather holds up…
