Being Outdoors

Being outdoors is very beneficial for our health. It is more important than most people think. There are many physical health, mental health, and social health benefits that comes with being outside. It can reduce stress, improve mood, increase sleep quality, lower blood pressure and heart rate, increase physical activity, and give stronger social connections. I highly recommend everyone to get outside whenever they have free time.

    Getting outside after a long day indoors is definitely a great feeling. While it's harder to in winter without having to be bundled up, summer has plenty of great opportunities to relax and boost your health outdoors. Even in the cold you can find fun activities to improve your mental and physical day. Who doesn't like a sunny day in winter where you can mess with your friends and launch snowballs at them? Be social and get out!

    I know that was probably a good day. It's harder to have fun for me in the winter. Being able to chill outdoors and enjoy nature had to be very grounding.

PSAC Championships Reflection

     10/26/2                                        PSAC Championships Reflection      It was a muddy course when we first got there. Then the women raced before the men, so they tore up the course even more. The whole team was in a good mood from the time we got on the bus until the starter gun went off. Once the race started, I was engulfed by runners. It is quite an experience hearing 300 feet pounding the ground at 5 flat pace. I positioned myself pretty well off the gun. There was mud flying everywhere. Throughout the race I slowly worked my way up, picking people off one by one. I ended up finishing 30th with a 2 second PR which I did not expect with the muddy course. I also mad the All PSAC 2nd team. Afterwards we had a cookout. It was an awesome day.
