Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify-HDT

Everybody knows this about me but I love to run. With the college being so hectic with my first semester coming to the end, running has become my refuge. I quite literally, run away from my problems. There seems to something poetic about lacing up my shoes and escaping the campus. I can escape the work, my (annoying) roommate, the library, and my worries.

My best thinking comes when I am running. The roads here in Jefferson City are all rural and many times the only thing on the road with me is cows. The peace and quiet let me sort out my thoughts. Somehow, I feel closer to God, much closer sitting in any church. Anytime, I feel awful or downtrodden, I go run. There is something about my feet striking the ground that lets me unravel my thoughts. I suppose that is what it is, unraveling. Not unraveling in a negative way but in a postive way, like removing a ponytail holder from my hair. Everything just is better and my mood so much more upbeat. I love running.

Finals end the 13th, and I can’t wait to be home for Christmas.
