Week 2 reflection

 I did not state in the first week the importance of music when it came to my project. Music has been a staple in my life for the past few years and I am almost always listening to music. Whether it's classical or rap, I will always listen to music depending on what I am doing or what mood I am in. At first, I was unaware of the importance of music when it came to running. I would start running but couldn't help but notice something lacking, I didn't know whether or not it was motivation, sleep or food. That was until the 4th day I brought my apple watch and airpods on my run and the impact was crazy. I remember I was listening to X-wing by Denzel Curry and I hit my first runners high. I knew immediately that the music would keep myself motivated for the rest of my senior project. 

Another skill I developed in the first week that I have been acting upon is my ability to cook meals for myself that stay in line with my diet. I have made a plethora of meals during my time on senior projects. It has helped me obtain more hours and is another great skill to develop further going into the future. My favorite dish from the second week was meatballs with bulgogi sauce and rice. 

The second week of senior project went even better than the first, I stayed motivated and running does not feel like as much of a nuisance anymore and is only a nice refreshing break from my daily life every morning and night. I am excited to attempt my half-marathon on monday.

Another thing I learned was the importance of consistency, as I stayed consistent throughout this first week it only got easier everyday and made motivating myself to keep running a lot easier. Lastly, I learned the importance of sleep, to keep myself motivated, my sleep was extremely important. The days I would get 8-10 hours of sleep it would be much easier to stay motivated to run and while running I would feel way more energized. I enjoy running sometimes. It's definitely nice when I feel good but when I get no sleep the night before or when I'm feeling poor it can be quite a nuisance. Luckily, everything went according to ...

Day 11

                                                                      Day 11 Practice marathon… Today I woke up and decided to do a sort of practice marathon, 7 miles in the morning and 7 miles in the afternoon with a break in between. Right after I woke up I got out of bed and made myself a bowl of greek yogurt and granola. After eating breakfast I went on a 7 mile run down and back up my road and it proved to be fairly easy because I hit a good runner high early on and went with the flow for the rest of the run and before I knew it, It was over. After the run, I popped back to my house and watched a few videos of other runners and made myself a...
