But, there's good news: I'm not giving up on running. As someone who has never in their life been athletic whatsoever, who works full time, does school part time (full time next semester), and is really involved in going to church, sometimes...there just is NO time. I don't even have time to call my family in San Antonio most days. Little less a good hour to devote to warming up, jogging, cooling down, and doing some strength exercises.
New goal: Start jogging when I can, and then nail down a regular work-out schedule once I graduate in December. I think that if I can get a normal routine down while I'm just working and now schooling, that I can maintain it once I add school back in. And my masters program is online so it should be even easier to keep up my training schedule.
That's what I'm telling myself for now. :-)
Other new goal: This blog will be about more than just running. So get used to it. ;-)
In other news: I GRADUATE ON DEC. 11. And while I already have a full-time job and I am just going to be doing my master's, I am experiencing the graduation-anxiety that I think every college student goes through. I am an adult. For real now. And in two years when I finish my masters I will go through this anxiety all over again most likely. Oh the joy.
Last night my roommate Shannon and I prayed together for at least 40 minutes and it was awesome. It was awesome because I am confident that God will take care of us, and I'm thankful we have a God who wants to listen to our concerns. But it was also awesome to have that community where my roommate WANTS to pray with me for hours. We actually do this frequently but last night was extra-awesome somehow. God is so good. Love Him!
I started out this post thinking it would reflect an epic fail...but in light of the last paragraph I say: Epic Victory!
The enemy has been defeated
And death couldn't hold You down
We're gonna lift our voice in victory
We're gonna make Your praises loud
Shout unto God with a voice of triumph
Shout unto God with a voice of praise
Shout unto God with a voice of triumph
We lift Your name up
We lift Your name up
