A Good Run

Things are going great-

I admit I have not been working out a full 30 min every day, but I have gotten in way more than 30 min on other days. I actually hit a huge goal. I have been running for the past few months. Not super consistent, but enough to build up my lungs. The other day I was wondering how far I could run if I tried. On Sunday I set out from my parents’ house with no real destination in mind. I ended up running to the river which I found out thanks to my nike ipod chip is about 3 miles. (Oh yeah, update from last post: washing your ipod chip does not ruin it. Thank goodness!) Then I turned around and came back. Six miles!! I haven’t run that far in years. Everyone was about to send out a search party for me. I didn’t tell them I was going to be gone so long. My bad. I love running these days. There is no one there to ask me to do a single thing or ask the question ‘why?’ for the thousandth time. A big part is I have started listening to podcasts from our church while I run. It seems silly and it is not that I am praying while I run or anything. If you have ever been to our church you would know, our pastor is so funny yet so inspirational. It is like listening to a great motivational speaker.  I run to clear my head and get motivated to better myself in my life. Listening to these podcasts does exactly that for me. Sunday’s was awesome. I have actually listened to this one before, but it is so good. He says the best quote, “What God does in you in the waiting room of life is often more important then what we are waiting for.” Something I always need to hear!
