Finally over with getting blood drawn, don't like it, hopefully won't have to do it for many years. I will go on a run in 30 minutes, 6 miles today. I got new shoes!

I ran 5.7, a little sooner after getting blood drawn than I would've liked, my arm is still hurting, but I got back and went to the Jazz game, great game! The Jazz came in 5-16 and beat the 16-4 Spurs! It was fun! I will need to do 8 tomorrow and Thursday and 7/8 on Friday and Saturday so I can get to 40 or a little over. Weird weird week. Now I can't see out of a lot of my eye, shining afterimage is blocking it, has been for a while now. Add that to the dust I coughed up, this has been a weird week, my dad says that the dust might have been a sinus infection that pooped and dripped down my throat while I was asleep and then turned into mist and I coughed it up, makes sense. My vision has had troubles since my last concussion in 8th grade but this is new, maybe I'm just having weird side effects from the jazz game, I usually try to avoid places like dances and other indoor events with lots of people and weird lighting because it kind of makes me feel like I'm in a dream and makes it hard to think, ever since that concussion, so hopefully I will feel better in the morning. If not I might miss my first 2 periods and show up for the AP classes and a run.

What kind of shoes did you get?

I am thinking I need to get some new shoes as well. The ones I am using are two years old and have lots of mileage on them.

I got the new Brooks Adrenaline, the 15. I've been using the 14 for a while and I love them! I get new shoes every 3 months haha, the pair I just finished have 2 inch holes in them!
