october 17th, 2017: running circles around the competition

well todays the big day. i am nowhere near as prepared as usual, but hopefully things still work out. they should, its more a question of how rough the road will be.

measurements. mostly as expected, though about 5 pounds lighter than expected. push ups. no problem. sit ups. right at the buzzer...chick pointed out that i should scoot in a little closer to make it a little easier. and now the run. i was pacing myself behind some guy that seemed on track with what i needed to do. after a minute or two i realized that wasnt the case and had to go in alone. i guess it worked in my favor because i won. 10 fifty-something.

and then off to see the bell boy...id been forewarned of things, and now theyre happening. a slew of miscommunication and mismanagement has created quite the mess. but it would appear that the power of reasoning works with some people.

talking to mom since its reggie's birthday. figured id see how shes doing.

so the test left me feeling bad. like...really bad. and that lasted for hours. deep into the night. 

my 12s from nike havent shipped and i havent been charged. whats the deal with that? and what happens to the shoes where orders fall through? i feel like i know the answer to that from my yellow prestos... things are settled and i even got a shipping notification. things are looking up.
