So, I didn't record my mileage at school, but since I have gotten home I am at 72.45 miles for the month. That's about 18 miles a week. It has been a bit sporadic, but I definitely feel in much much better shape. My last run of 5.5 miles took me 47:26 minutes to complete, so a little under a 9 minute mile. Feels good. Also, I am beginning a couch to 5k program with Heather, which I'm pretty stoked about.
As my post says, I run to stay sane sometimes. There are moments when my emotions get so strong I just have to release them and running is a healthy way to do this. I sometimes feel that if I tire my body out, I will tire my mind out as well. If I can just exhaust myself enough I won't have thoughts racing through my mind. I won't have energy to feel or think. Some runs are about this, other runs are about praising my God. I look out and seek the fields, clear blue skies, and breathtaking space. I can't help but praise God the creator. Sometimes I pray, sometimes I praise Him, sometimes I reflect on scripture or what He is doing in my life. Depending on the day I run to stay sane, or to praise my Savior, either way it works for me.
