Today I finished The Coddling of the American Mind. Man, it was so good. I would 10/10 recommend that everyone reads it. It's really an eye opener. Not sure what I'm going to read next. I started 1989 but I feel like I want to read more nonfiction. Change of topic- track started this week! The first day was rough, I was way too in my head. But the rest of the days were great. I love running. It's also good to be running with people again. But with the right people. I realize I am kinda picky about who I run with. Thankfully I have a large team where I have my pick of teammates to run with. Something else I an realizing is how unique my team is. We are so so supportive of each other, and I thought it was normal. But I'm realizing, not every sports team is as loving and supportive as mine! It's fun. I really love my team. Yesterday we had our first speed session. We had a mile time trial, then some 400m repeats. I was very positive and supportive and fun. I actually really enjoyed it. It's so much better than just keeping to myself. This feeling was present during my cross country season- this unconditional support. I am so proud of my girls no matter what. I encourage them no matter how fast or how slow or long or short they are running. It's so much better this way! It helps me focus less on me and more on loving others. It's awesome.
