Tucson Chillin'

Hey yall :) currently blogging from the new family home in Tucson, Arizona.... it's weird being here and seeing all our "old" stuff in this new place. Anyhow- school fitness test has got me stressing....

One week from today and I will start moving into my apartment on campus- sooooo excited and so ready to get school and volleyball season rolling. I'm stressed though because I need to find a place to run. In georgetown I would always have the school to use for working out and such but here I am literally lost. I have no idea how to get around anywhere, where anything is, or even where I am really. And there is no way to run outside at any time of day because I would probably be attacked by a wild animal or a rattle snake, seriously y'all im not kidding. Its unsafe to run at night or before the sun comes up because that is when these things come out. Especially around where I live because there is a ton of land and not as much developed city i guess you could say. Desert life sucks when youre trying to keep in shape!


Anyway- I have exactly one week to make sure I am prepared to complete the fitness test.
My goals:
-1:03 300 shuttle. please please please please pray for me on this one- been struggling with it all summer, and at this rate I am just hoping that the adrenaline and the other girls running it with me will make me go faster.... so far the quickest ive run it is at like 1:08 with the exception of the one time with my roommate.
-7:40 mile. not as worried about this, my roommate/cross country super star has been helping me run the loop around campus and I feel good about it! I'll also have 2 days before 2-a-days start to practice this a couple more times.
-50 pushups. only mildly worried about this actually- when we do this test there is no time limit, so you can take a "break" so long as you don't drop from a plank and you stay on your hands.
-62 situps in 1 minute. not sure if i should be worried about this or not..... i dont feel thaaaat stressed about it. i have a decently strong core, so all you really have to do is start off really quick, then once youre ahead of the count, just do a situp every second.


Just got a call from my brother so i will need to go pick him up from school. I was counting on this being a longer post but oh well- next post i will blog about nutrisystem! I am giving it a try this week so staaaay tuned friends :) much love.
