First run back! Felt AWESOME. 8:21 pace, took it nice and easy and just explored around a few Spartanburg streets I'd yet to run up. Really missed running and enjoyed myself today.

Biked 4 miles between classes. Didn't have time to run and still shower/change clothes (it's been raining all day, so going to class straight from run wasn't an option :/ ) 

My Monday schedule is so rough for trying to squeeze in a run. The only time I can really do it is before my 8:30 class, which is fine, except that is going to start getting dangerous as winter sets in and there may be ice/its freezing cold. Yikes.

Once again, intended to run a a bit longer today but time constraints got me. I wanted to do 7 in the morning but about 5 minutes into the run around 6:30 I remembered that I had registration at 7:30 so I was gonna need to be back by 7:15 to secure a computer to register on. So I got 5 miles in, 8:33 average. Then I did the remaining 2 miles on the treadmill after my 9:30 class and then lifted.

Today was a beautiful mess. It started off a mess, and ended up beautiful. I slept through my 8:30 class (and the run that I was supposed to do before it), which threw off the rest of my day completely. I wasn't prepared for the rest of my classes because I was in such a rush trying to get all of my stuff together and get out the door so I didn't miss my 9:30 too. It was just frantic and haphazard all morning. I worked in the afternoon and gained a little bit of sanity back with the routineness of that. Then I was going to run afterwards, but Nancy texted me and asked if I wanted to come watch a movie about the Holy Spirit after I got off. I figured I could just do a treadmill sesh after that so I was like sure!

We watched the movie and it straight up floored me. You guys, it is so CRAZY how powerful and real and relevant the Holy Spirit is today!!! I have been totally disregarding him as a member of the trinity for um yeah basically my life. And it is so radical how immeasurably much more God is capable of doing through me than I thought. We prayed for pretty much the entire rest of the night and I needed that so badly. Needless to say, I didn't run. I am so completely convicted yet excited and enthralled with God right now and I just wanted to share all that. This is a crazy life, and still so much crazier than most of us realize.

A quote for the road - "The Holy Spirit is imprisoned in the hearts of unbelieving believers."

Late-night run, 7:56 average. Well actually it wasn't late, only like 6 o clock - it just gets so dark so early now! Honestly just happy I didn't get kidnapped or something in the pitch black dangers of Hub City. Sketchy stuff. Still spent most of the run thinking about God and how powerful he is and what I am doing with my life in response. 

Came back to campus, ate, helped Breck get ready for semi-formal, then lifted afterwards.
