As you can see in my picture below signs of spring are
starting to appear on Rockhurst’s campus (the little green things are tulips coming up). Which is exciting for multiple
reasons one of those is that spring is a sign of warmer weather. I do not talk
about running much in this blog considering how much I love running (I run
about 6 days a week for about 4 or more miles per day). For me running is a
great stress relief. I started running when I was in 6th grade and
joined the cross country team in 7th grade. I love being able to run
outside. Going to Rockhurst puts runners
like me in a great location because we have the trolley train and loose park so
close to campus. The trolley trial is like .75 miles from campus and Loose Park
is like 1.5 miles from campus. Running this time of year outside is so
enjoyable you do not have to worry about being too hot or too cold.
While I
am on the topic of running my friend and I have taken it upon ourselves to
restart running club. I was surprised when I came to Rockhurst my freshman year
how many people liked to run. Running club existed for a while my freshman year
but then the people running it just got too busy. We had decent attendance at
running club my freshman year. So my friend Amy and I are restarting running
club we already have over twenty people who have signed up which is really
exciting!! We are going to start doing group runs next week. It was really encouraging
that we already have people volunteering to lead the runs. As I am sure I have
blogged about before there is a 5k on campus that a lot of students participate
in.
Also if you are ever just needing some encouragement and a friendly reminder of how good we have it watch this video. It is the Cancer floor of a children's hospital singing the song stronger. This past week I was talking with a friend about how fortunate we are in life. After that conversation I could not get this video out of my mind.
Quote for the Week
"It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. 2 Corinthians 3:5"
