Ready, Set, Goat! :)

So, another one of my goals was to go running three times a week. Though, I don't know what times I will have a practice room yet, I still think I figured out what times I can go. Each time I have went I have reached my goal and improved from the last time I went. I even occasionally will have the opportunity to lift weights (just to get really toned. I'm pretty psyched!) At first I listened to music when I went, but now I have a goal to bring flash cards I can go through when I run. It worked out better than I anticipated. Of course, my brain is a lot slower when running, but I remember things so much better afterwords. If I can do it when my brain is dead, I can certainly do well when it is alive. Such is my logic :) I have known how beneficial running is from before my college days, but now I am more grateful for it. It releases good "happy" chemicals into the brain. It is tempting to skip out on running some busy days, but it is actually worth it and saves time. When you are frustrated, your brain has a tendency to be cloudy. When you release that, you are allowing your brain to move more freely and clearly. Anyway, it has been a blessing in my life to attend a university where I have access to a treadmill. And I even get to kill two birds with one stone! Who'da thunk you could exercise and study at the same time? I know I have been given opportunity and I am grateful for that. God knew what he was doing when he sent me here. Just goes to show that we are never alone.
