Hello!
This is Logan, and I thought I would update this bloggy to tell you about how my track season is going thus far.
I tried the two mile for the first time, it sucked hairy man balls and I went at basically my 5k pace, and got a time of 11:02.
I ran the mile, got 4:55 which is a pr so that's good :D
I've run the 800 and gotten 2:13 which is also a pr, and okay.
I plan on shattering most of these scores, with a hesitant maybe on the two miler lol.
I did not know that you could earn medals in track, but apparently you can O_o
If I had known that I probably would've run harder through the shin splints than I did.
(I was still running though, just being cautious of hurting myself.)
We have a ton of great runners on our team, like Ed and Ethan and Pum.
(Me too if I begin to pick up the slack :D)
------
On to things that interest me a bit more, I have been reading books lately on a variety of subjects. One on visual thinking, and it's applications in the business world, one of dreams, which is very very interesting to read, one on the history of video games, which is also interesting, one on the power of thought, one on strategic thinking, one on computer programming, a ton of ebooks, one on habits, and one on winning by quitting. (<-- the last one I am a bit adverse to reading, but I can deal with it okay. It's concept it interesting, as long as you don't misinterpret it and drop out of the important things in life)
I guess I could post a list of the books and their authors later :D
The book on visual thinking talks about using the six w's to see and to show, when drawing and observing. It talks about using the ways our minds naturally perceive things to make images that the audience will just get kinda intuitively. (with some explaining of course)
It has a couple tools for figuring out the right image to use and methods for figuring out what is best to show based on your audience.
The book on dreams talked about lucid dreaming, which occurs during REM sleep, and various methods of dream interpretation and the usefulness of dreams. The dreams can inform you and give you insights into your life and your personality. It went over methods ranging from Freud's to Jung's to newer different methods as well.
The book on video game history was talking about pinball machines as the very first beginnings of the industry, then moving on to arcade machines, then to home-tv games and with companies such as Atari, Namco, and a few others (Nintendo).
Very interesting stuff, even mentions Steve Jobs working for atari when he was a youth O-O
Well, that's all for now :D
I'll talk to you next time,
Love,
