C-A-S: Experience 8

 During this period of time, I was able to do certain workouts to improve my upper body strength. In fact, I already had a workout routine just for this as I have it listed on my phone. My workout routine consisted of a certain amount of push-ups, squats, weightlifting, a two-minute plank, pull ups, and inverse crunches. This workout typically lasts me around an hour and a half to 2 hours and a half. When I get too comfortable with the amount of reps I usually do in my workout, I slightly increase the reps so it's manageable for me. Additionally, after my workout I go on a decently long run to cool myself down. Then, I drink protein shakes, an absurdly amount of water, and then I eat a protein based meal. In most cases, I eat eggs because it's my specialty. This workout went well as it usually does, but I did have to decrease some of the reps that I'm used to because I had not worked out in weeks.

C-A-S: Experience 2

       I have always had a passion for running. I’ve run my entire life, even through the pandemic.

There are many reasons why I want to run a half marathon and my mom is one of them. My mom has been a role model for me because she’s run innumerable marathons during her life. She has also benefited mentally from it as well which is also another goal of mine. My mom has a Houston Fit Marathon Training guideline that explains what I need to do in order to reach my goal. It will take more than a six months to complete. However, it might take me less time to train for this goal because I’m already in good shape. The spreadsheet consists of running three times a week with a long run on Saturdays. It steadily increasing the amount I am going to run from 3 miles to 12 miles. The schedule also ...

C-A-S: Reflection 2

     Throughout my life, I have always been an aficionado about running. It's been one of my favorite hobbies and my  favorite activity to do when I'm free. Recently, because of the pandemic as well as consistently having injuries every year, such as breaking my left ankle (twice), getting concussions, breaking my toes (three times), etc. it has halted my and reduced my strength and endurance and hindered my ability to run. Thus, I will need to continuously train harder and work out more to attain my goal. In addition, I will also cycle and bike more as a supplement to my training. I would like to increase my endurance and lose some weight to be able to not only run at a faster rate, but also run for a greater amount of time. Just recently, I began to run again and although I am certainly still lean and able to run for   5 kilometers, I certainly would like to carry through more training so that it becomes more easy and less strenuous. I am excited to carry...
