Time for me to level up?

[RedRover]

Hi guys and gals!

 

I've been reading Nerd Fitness for about a year now, but this is my first time participating. I've just started college, and as most (if not all) of my habits have been broken by the huge transition from high-school to dorm life, I figure it's the perfect time for me to try and level up. 

 

I'm a nerd about videogames, foreign cultures, movies, books, computers, music playing... pretty much anything that holds my attention. My favorites are Pokemon, the Tales of series, Final Fantasy V-X, Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars, Doctor Who, the DC universe, and Sherlock.

 

Goals (I want to build habits that will help me 'grind' towards these things):

 

Passing the college's personal fitness test. That's running a mile-and-a-half in 12 minutes. I'm a decent long distance runner, and am even on the school's cross-country team, but when it comes to speed, I fall short. Literally. I'm small, and though I feel like I could run 10 minute miles forever, running faster wears me out very quickly.

 

Becoming the very best English/Spanish teacher that no one ever was. To inspire students is my test, to train them is my cause. (Also the reason I'm at college.)

 

Starting some sort of strength training that wouldn't hurt my running cross-country. Maybe the Beginner Body Weight?

 

Becoming confident enough to ask somebody out and at least believe that they could say yes. Or at least enough to start looking people in the eyes.

 

Level up some weird (and useful) skill that nobody who knows me would expect. 

 

Right now, my eating habits are very okay. They aren't completely paleo, but I do eat with a "food is fuel" mentality.

 

Anyways, I'm excited to find this site, and look forward to getting to know you guys.
