Learning all the little things! With everything that I already do, it’s hard to find time to do some goofy activities that I wish to do. Although I enjoy video games like a lot of teenage boys, I also like to try some small things that I find interesting on YouTube. I like anime, so I learned how to sketch some fundamental figures.

20x50 trying to hit 200 pace. Although this set is more mid-distance work, it really helps with sprints as well in my opinion. It gets really hard around halfway and really mentally challenging about 3/4th off the way through just like a 200. However, since they are still 50’s, and with decent amounts of rest, it still felt more like a sprint set overall. 

Being raised in a Chinese family with grandparents who don’t even speak English, I have been exposed to two different cultures very early in my life. Nowadays, culture is something that I take great interest in and has really brought me a long way as a leader by understanding others through cultural backgrounds as well as being easy to approach as culture and ethnicity does not act like a barrier to me but instead, a way to connect
