25K Came and Gone

This was the longest run I’ve attempted since Chicago. In fact I've Only ran that distance 3 time ever, twice in training for Chicago and then in Chicago. That was 2002, four years ago. I'm definitely out of shape. I don't even feel like I can move right now. What a great run though.

My goal was to run the whole thing in 10 minute miles, I ran it in 9:40's. Official time 2:30:00:98. I am extremely pleased with that.

I've devoted a considerable amount of time to this sport this semester. Between running, work, school, dates and $2 you call its, I haven't done much of anything. As I was running today I thought about what I have to show for all my work this semester.

I am a River Bank Run finisher with a fake gold medal.
I can do a mean proof of the sub-space theorem.
I got a 3.944 gpa for the semester, stupid A-.
I saved money that is all spent now on camping equipment.
I decided I've had enough of men
I've increased my tolerance from tipsy after 1 to tipsy after 2.

Short Runs

This week has been study hell. I've going on short runs just to get out of my chair at the coffee shop for more than a bathroom break. I'm doing about 2-3 mile runs 2-3 times a day. I run, i study, i eat, i study, i run.

But i've learned more this semester than ever before, about math, about physics, about love, about life. At first glance looking back on this semester i thought i had not spent much time with God, or learning about God. But once i actually thought about it, that is all i did. Each proof of a theorem, each number in a matrix, each boy i went out with, each cup of coffee, each stride of every run, the thump of my shoes on the moon lit pavement...This is where God lives.
