My post was going to be just “I work out” but apparently that wasn't long enough. After a few weeks of visiting high school friends, I’ve settled into my routine for the summer working at Parsons Brinckerhoff as an Overhead Contact Systems Intern. I’d explain what that is but I don’t really know except that I work with trains and they gave me colored pencils. In addition to work, I’ve been lifting at least three times a week and just recently decided to get back into the pool for my first practice since February. Lucky me, my coach decided it was a good time for a timed 1650. I had a solid race going with a girl 6 years younger than me for about a 500 before one of us took off and eventually lapped the other one (I refuse to reveal who lapped who). But more importantly I’m enjoying training and doing “fun” challenges to push myself without having to worry about resting for a meet or drowning during practice. If anyone wants to partake in those challenges let me know (they are mostly lift/circuit related) but either way have fun this summer and come back stronger.
